S/E take-off safety brief?

Just wondering how many people do a take-off safety brief when they fly single engine aircraft?

My instructor taught me to use one from the very start of my training which was short and concise and consisted of:

* What speed to lift the nose wheel off the ground
* Take-off safety speed to reach
* What to do with an engine failure near the ground
* What to do with an engine failure with no runway left

Before a checkflight with one school, when I started my brief the instructor said "what are you doing that for?, You don't need to say all that. It's not a twin. We don't have a choice, if the engine fails near the ground we are gonna land. If it fails when were a bit higher we'll have to look for a place to land".

Surely he is of the minority?
