Fujiflyer,
Whirls, I didn't mean my post to be unfair.
The thread topic is about the quality of ATC at Southend. I have no direct experience and therefore will not join in with any criticism but the report of the tragic accident in 2006 was to some degree critical of the service provided by Southend ATC and resulted in several safety recommendations for procedural changes. That is why I posted the link.
My objection to
goatface's comments were simply because of the manner of his response. I believe discussion on these fora should try to be on-topic and not be gratuitously offensive or personal.
I still think my post was pertinent but I am sorry if I ruffled feathers.
