Square leg; you beat me to it! I was going to say to Andyman that that particular call about "expect further descent/climb" is to allow our piloting brethren the chance to set up a smooth climb/descent without actually having to level off.
I'm hoping that the comments about callsign use were just tongue in cheek! No one can seriously assert that any dropping of ones callsign has any place in ATC comms except where positive two-way has been started.
It's truly getting busier and busier on our freq's so we are having to insist on much more concise and standard phraseologies to assist the cause of "safe, expeditious and orderly" flows of air traffic. Back to ATC101!!
Be safe.
