englishal: the path flown is exactly the same as a go-around so I don't understand your concern - and since neither of us are in the circuit at that point the normal rules of the air apply.
Regarding Bournemouth, absolutely right - that's why I was discussing uncontrolled fields. You should be taught all types of join regardless of where you train.
Regarding Old Sarum - I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. As long as you fitted-in safely, joined on the correct base and didn't fly an airliner approach I'm sure nobody thought anything other than "welcome". If you were the wally who insisted on turning the wrong way then the thoughts were probably not as kind.
Next time you're there on a Saturday ask for "Dave", I'll buy you a tea to show you how friendly and welcoming we are
