Approach to Tower Checking In
According to CAP413 [if I haven't missed something] when I am transferred from approach to tower I check in with something like 'Wrayton Tower, Fastair 345'.

However most people check in with runway and dme distance. Is this useful? Or has it just become a tradition. When I was in the tower at LHR a few years ago the guy I spoke to said just callsign only was fine. The rest was just unnecessary clutter.

Any comments?
