....you may have to extend downwind for spacing.
If that is commonplace at Stapelford, no wonder people are getting cut up on final.

Why are many people so abysmally poor when it comes to flying something as simple as a basic visual circuit?

Of course when you get people trying to fly spamcans like airliners, positioning straight-in and then dragging themselves in from 2 mile final on 3 deg approaches in little C152s, it's hardly surprising that problems arise.
