One thing though:

it is EITHER turn LEFT HEADING 360 (or NORTH)
OR turn LEFT 360 DEGREES.

I don't care what they say or do in the UK and their CAP crap, this IS THE ONLY SAFE WAY not to confuse headings-to-fly with amount of CHANGE in heading.

the UK way of saying "turn left heading 360 degrees" is simply dangerous and I refuse and always tell the controllers in UK airspace to choose, either degrees or heading, but not the 2 in one sentence. They need to follow standard ICAO.

As for TO and FOR: I do not use them, neither should you.

ps. One should not repeat verbatim a controllers clearance/request. Follow ICAO.
