Why, when ATC give a conditional "After the landing Easyjet Airbus A319...." do folk readback "after the landing aircraft...."
Simple, last time i waited for the correct aircraft i got reprimanded by ATC. After all they told me to line up behind that landing Lufthansa A320 so i told them we would do so and waited for a Lufty A320. Next landing was of course a BMI A320 so we didn't line up.
By the way, the identing after departure seems to be a british peculiarity, is there really any technical reason anymore for that? Or just a local procedural oddity? After all in other parts of europe we do not even get individual squawks anymore, just 1000 for all on those routes, not to mention no ident and ATC has no problem working with us anyway.
