In flight conditions

Ok, I'll bite.

Approach, XXXX on descent to 7000 with Echo visual on top
On first contact with approach, when required to report in flight conditions, how would you describe VMC but with a layer of cloud (overcast or scattered on inbetween) below you? I use 'on top' (different to visual on top but that's by the by)?

Back to some of the earlier bugbears, I heard several sky gods yesterday get queried over the read back of 'nine thousand' because it wasn't clear. One genius, when asked to confirm niner thousand replied with 'nine thousand' which didn't confirm anything at all. Was surprised that ATC let it pass - maybe it was slightly clearer to them second time around.
