Shocked to hear about bad feelings for Norwich. Been in many times in a Cessna single and never had anything less than a perfect reception.
Exeter, never been there or had any reason to but have only heard good things about it.
Lets not forget chaps, people have bad days and ATC aren't immune. I can't help feeling that sometimes we (as pilots) take everything they say (and especially how they say it) far too personally.
If you've had a perfect flight and end it with a perfect join, circuit, app. and landing why let someones tone of voice ruin your day.
This bit of prophetic thinking does not apply to Oxford I'm afraid, they are enough to ruin even the most perfect week with their attitude at times. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
