RT arriving at a new aerodrome

Hi

i am sitting in front of the RT PPL book and looking up the chapter of where an aircraft is enroute and arriving at an airfield.

What do you really say correctly on a VFR flight. In the book it gives an example:
Manchester Approach, G BGZE
G BGZE Manchester Approach, pass your message
G-ZE is a PA38 Tomahawk from Sleap to
Manchester overhead Whitchurch 2500ft,
QNH 1007, request VFR clearance to the
airfield with Information Alpha.

Now would you not just ask for rejoining instruction?
so on first contact you would say something along
the lines: "G BGZE is 10m inbound from Sleap, request rejoining instruction. "
I am a little bit unsure about this now. I think the book is confusing me from what the instructor taught me.
