Whizzing around East Anglia, the Wattisham MATZ always seems a friendly place, going out of their way to anticipate the likely needs of a VFR lightweight like me. While the Americans at Lakenheath are efficient, one controller I has there a few months ago was evidently on a mission to see how many words he could pack into each unyielding second - a bit counterproductive, lots of people were having to ask "say again".
