(Normally I fly at weekends and know there's nobody to talk to over East Anglia so don't bother to try. Last trip I turned the radio down, and when I turned it back up I was being called to see if I still existed - whoops. Flying during the week is a novelty only afforded to the unemployed )
Er, which East Anglia is that, Gertie?
Doesn't sound like the same one as I fly in at weekends (and, as it happens , weekdays when many retired folks who have worked all their lives fly).
At weekends I can talk to Lakenheath , Cambridge, Norwich, Anglia Radar, even Essex if I've half a mind.And Southend can be pretty useful in the south of our great region.
Any one of them has a radar screen in front of them and are happy to help.
And I seriously don't believe you can't understand the Cousins.
Or mebbe just don't want to try.
