My favourite was the ex SATCO at Yeovil.. hated GA doing NDB approaches and referred to us as "Little P1ssers".
I was always of the opinion that gatwick/thames approach controller would want to know about me skirting around their zone, under their CTA. Not one has ever told me they'd appreaciate a call.. and that if you have no mode C or transponder you are deemed seperated from traffic inside controlled airspace.
I guess the flip side of that is if a LCY inbound gets a TCAS RA from a PA28 at 1400ft under the CTA.. If controllers don't want to talk then it's tough tits about the RA.
and if you think Alan's stroppy wait til talkdownman gets here!
