I'll go with Heathrow Director on this one (not so much the chugalug though!) It was then, is now and always shall be, "g'day", s'far as I'm concerned.
Having said that, it's all wrong anyhow, 'cos there aint nowhere I ever saw nor know of now where it's standard R/T, so EVERYONE can knock it off!
There's another thread alive about excessive R/T loading (vis-a-vis reading back six digits for frequencies etc). Aren't we all missing the point here?
