Normally I would have done. But this was a training trip and I wanted the student to cope with RT, beacon bashing and IF as she is working up to starting her CPL/IR course.

Yesterday a student on a solo navigation exercise had difficulty with the aircraft radio on the way to Leicester (had forgotten how to dial up 25 KHz frequencies). He couldn't get a word in edgewise with London FIS to ask them to let Leicester (with whom he'd booked in prior to departure) know he was non-radio. So, sesnibly, went to D&D to ask for their help - then phoned in after landing to be rebriefed.

It would be soooo nice to be able to obtain 'information' on London Information instead of having to listen to Golf Alfa Lunch Le Touquet and his pals passing their life history! Normally in that 'Norman the gnome' John Major-esque accent.....
