Post Misuse of A/G units

Hiya,. .. .Just wondering, how many people have encountered misuse of A/G units at small airfields. I have encountered it twice, at Fenland, and Dunkeswell, both times I was "cleared" (TWR) to taxi to the holding point and was allowed to take-off "at my discretion" (AFIS) which threw me a bit because, having done all my training at an airfield with only a "radio" suffix as the callsign I was used to the normal correct procedures.. .. .Does no-one monitor this sort of thing because one day someone is going to get hurt by obeying instructions issued by someone not authorised to do so.. .. .Not picking at the above airfields, both are great places that I have visited more than once but sometimes have encountered some oddities on the r/t thatīs all. Anyone else had these experiences?
