My poor descriptive skills.
It is not a keep 220 to 4 instruction don't worry. Although some seem to set you at 210knts then don't reduce the speed at 8 miles. If you don't say anything, they won't say anything.
And the FL70 would be "If I turn you in now will the height be an issue"
180 to 4 would be the highest I have been instructed and that was at MAN with a mayday up our chuff. And the controller knew full well we could do it. It was years ago now so maybe that is a thing of the past now.
And never mind class G there is a huge world out there that doesn't have British controllers in charge of it.
