The "and wait" is optional in the UK and is, I guess, ideally to be used for emphasis when there is more than the usual reason compelling them not to accidentally take off.

I try to only add it on when there is an intersection departure, crossing traffic or a vortex reason for them not to take off so as to keep the RT cleaner and also by not using it in every transmission it does not dilute the meaning of the word "wait".
