Slightly off thread, but landing at Shoreham a few years ago in poor weather, I was given excellent service.
The runway in use was 21 and I was unhappy about the NDB/DME approach to this runway because it is a stepped down approach over high ground to the north and was something I had never done before. I explained m,y concern to ATC and was offered the NDB/DME approach to 03, which is over the sea, plus a circle to land on 21.
All no fuss, done for my convenience. When it matters, they come up with the goods! (I am now happy with stepped non-precision approaches, needless to say).
