Quite so. But we use QFE in the UK because we don't have that problem.
I notice that a certain little aerodrome in the UK, which likes to play airliners, has to be specifically asked for the QFE to be provided when being called on its approach frequency. It then, somewhat condescendingly, advises you of the circuit height....
So easy when, once upon a time in the UK, it was QFE with TowEr and QNH with ApproacH!!
