New to the forum - training for my PPL in the UK

Hmm think I'd better be quiet here , radio procedures seem to be slightly different here

I start off with
" city ground this is <call sign> with information alpha( or whatever the atis is)"

Then they come back with " <callsign> city ground , go ahead"

I then reply
" city ground , Cessna 172 request taxi to active runway for localflighteast ( or enter the circuit)"

Then they give me altimeter winds squawk code , taxi instructions etc

My main mistake so far is forgetting who I'm talking too ( ground or tower ) , doesn't help on quiet days that they can be the same person but on two frequencies , occasionally I've also forgotten what plane I'm in ( the school has 3)
