I know the controller involved in this matter and he is a fool. Any accuracy within his sectors is pure luck. It sounds to me as if his guide dog gave him the necessary advice to get it so close.
But seriously, the traffic was a EGBB inbound through Hemel that was taken off it's route to facilitate your request. Although it put him a little high on the profile it also resulted in a straight in for rwy 33. See, there was a plan.
I'm sure he appreciates your feedback.
Cheers.
