Bp - maybe. Take an east west solent crossing - you might be talking to farnborough but then you need to negotiate a transit with solent (southampton), who in turn directly abut bournemouth (on another frequency) who may then hand you over or suggest boscombe (depending whether they are open) or bournemouth lars so in a short space a little work going on. With experience its easy as with most things but every reason to see why a pilot might be thinking whose next and testing the market with the current controller to see if there thinking is on the same frequency.
I know having once been on the dege of bournemouth with no hand over (and none requested because i assumed it was coming). As it turned out even the controller had "forgotten" as i sailed on into bournemouth airspace.
