I'm a regular at BNN(20+ years),the most often heard clearance is 'next time over BNN leave on a hdg of xxx'.Followed by 'next time over BNN,one orbit right,then xxx'.Occasionally 'no need to complete the hold,just turn on to hdg xxx'.

All this seems quite unambiguous.

However,a couple of nights back,when all aircraft were being given headings to take up directly,I heard a classic,the like of which I'd never heard before.'Midland xxx can you see that Swissair 320 below going down your left hand side'...Affirm,'good then turn left and follow him'.. .Absolutely brilliant That wouldn't be you would it HD . .A very slick operation it was too.
