You boys want to try flying a fling wing at Blackpool. The circuit is deadside and some plank flyers coming down from the overhead deadside don't realise that that's our 'downwind' leg and in a reciprocal direction - number of times in training I could tell you what the other pilot had for breakfast by the stains on his shirt.....
Anyway. best advice I was given was, as soon as you start transmitting to the tower frequency, wap on the old landing light because the ATC usually look at the radio direction finder thingy and then start looking for you in that direction. A light will help.
If you want a really scary story - see if you can get VFRpilotPB to tell his 'how to split a tornado squadron up with a robbo' story....
