We have the same problem at a company airfield to the southwest. Normally straight through the ILS at the 5 mile point at 1500' (All you pilots out there can do the maths I'm sure).

Airmanship - has greatly reduced since the advent of GPS and the jump in, push buttons and go anywhere mentality, rather than look at a map and PLAN a flight mentality that these people were originally taught.

And before anyone has a go - I say this as an ATCO AND Pilot. A quick look around some clubs and I'm sure everyone can recognise someone of the above description.
