If I give the instruction "remain outside controlled airspace" it is precisely because I DO NOT wish to control that aircraft, that the aircraft is outside controlled airspace and therefore not under a CONTROL service. This is not to be confused with FIS/RIS/RAS.
Your further point confuses me though - when Bournemouth "bark" at you to remain outside controlled airspace - how could you be in controlled airspace already at this point without a clearance and indeed a control service? I didn't think there was any class E airspace around Bournemouth.
Phraseology has been and is being developed constantly following from various incidents in order to avoid confusion and to reduce to probability of it happening again. I accept that it may be perceived to be a pain, but frankly if it means we can all avoid paperwork then I'm all for it!
