This all reminds me of the story about the Senior Airline Captain who when offered an alternative hold at BNN due to some build-ups replied,
"No thanks, we both have Instrument Ratings!"
Maybe modern weather radars are a bit too sensitive and the mark 1 eyeball and a wealth of experience are sometimes sufficient for weather avoidance.
Thanks for the great service in the UK. The trainers deserve all the perks they can get
