I've asked London Information for a FIS a couple of times, but I really don't see the point! They're useful for opening and closing flight plans and perhaps it's nice to have someone to talk to when going over water (although there are probably better people to talk to), but why do people who are just going from A to B tell London Information about it? They've got so much on their hands and it's such a vast area they deal with that there's no way they can give you much of a service, and it just gums up the frequency. I've spoken to them before and been told 'Standby, you're number 5' or something like that.
If I can't find anyone sensible to talk to I try to tune into Virgin Radio on 121.5. They never seem to play any music these days and sometimes the DJ seems REALLY nervous.
