A request to To the self appointed 'Guard' (121.5) Police

Today at about 1500z London Centre (D&D) were simualtaneously dealing with a radio fail on 243 in class C , a hawk reporting an airpox again on 243 and on 121.5 Mhz a lost PPL solo student inside the London TMA.

I lost count how many times professional pilots piped up on 121.5 telling me as a controller I was on guard. Guys, the last thing we need when dealing with simualtaneous emergencies is being berated for doing our job and assisting pilots with difficulties, could we all please think before blindly transmitting " you're on guard" over & over again.
