Only in the UK:

Iceair123 turn right heading 020 DEGREES this is absolute bull****. Either you turn into a heading, or you turn an amount of degrees. When combining two phraseologies, you are asking for misunderstandings resulting in a reduction of safety. It is either turn right Heading 020 or it is turn right 020 degrees. Follow bloody ICAO.

Iceair123, when established on the localiser, descend with the glide
Absolute bull again, you are either cleared ILS or not cleared ILS. again, the Brits are making things complicated where it is not necessary, and where the whole rest of the World follows ICAO.
This Again creates confusion, especially to non native speakers. but hey, the Brits do not care, the vast majority only know English anyway and have no idea what speaking and understanding a foreign language is...

So I stand by my claim that in Europe, the UK has the worst phraseology, but it must be said, terrific controllers.
