And as a note High expect under the rules I have to conform to the only thing I have to avoid is the ATZ. But to be honest I always do the airmanship things to do with MATZ although its very rare I go near the things these days.

And I have absolutely no problem at all with "for inbound instrument traffic could you please turn left 30 degrees and report if you require level change"

To which my reply would be "left 30 wilco"

Compared to the norm at the time.

After getting multiple civi things going whizzing by me with out a chirp of traffic information to suddenly get "left heading 210, maintain level 2000ft, readback" so you can see why Grabbers solution to the issue becomes the flavour of the day.

Which is quite strange as my experence in the vale of york would indicate that the first solution to dealing with GA is in the RAF ATC rule book. And everything was happy and people talked to them.
