Had two lovely examples of A/G radio (one good, one not so) on the same day recently.

The first was cheerfully "clearing" takeoffs and landings, including ours - a shame about the aircraft stopped mid-runway in front of us at the time.

At our next destination, we did a longish final and called our position at 5m, 2m and 1m. Just before we reached 1m, another aircraft entered the runway and backtracked towards us. The A/G operator showed supreme restraint, only saying to the other aircraft "I have advised you of the landing traffic"

We were amused by the two very different radio styles.

Fortunately, we persuaded the (non-pilot) passenger that he was extremely lucky to have experience two go-arounds on the same day.
