"Remain clear of controlled airspace." (= keep away from my patch until I've sorted my £hit out here, boy!)

I generally aim to do exactly that, unless ATC say I'm allowed in. That's why I'm calling.
Many are the pilots just to the SW of this zone who may "aim" to remain clear of controlled airspace but their aim is ****e.

It does no harm at all to hammer the point home repeatedly in the hope that it may stick.

On another matter, I welcome the third party "blocked" which I occasionally hear on my frequency. It speeds up the realisation that someone could have picked up an instruction meant for someone else. Or that I have not been heard at all.

Here's one: "tower confirm we're cleared to land"

Pilots are by all means welcome to say this at any stage, but it always freaks me out when I hear it with an aircraft on very short finals and results in a panicky look down the runway...
