pembroke,
Please quit the constant whinging. It's making me depressed, and it's not even true, or not universally. On Saturday I flew with a student to Sywell, which was packed out - loads of pilots enjoying the first decent day we've had for months, plus a microlight fly-in. I was expecting chaos, but I saw and heard mainly switched-on, well-organised, careful pilots, doing very well considering some of them must have been quite rusty after all the appalling weather we've had. Maybe not every radio call was perfect, but they were all good enough in terms of basic communication, and that's what matters.
I can't believe we're so much better up here than you lot are in the south-east, so don't you think you might be exaggerating just a little bit?
