Thanks all for the responses and feedback, I do appreciate.
Sorry i did not give alot of details.
I was flying flight plan route which would take me to the VOR.
ATC cut me off on a very long base leg basically and told me to go direct to a 10 mile final to intercept the LOC.
We did ask if we could go direct to the initial FIX of the loc approach, to which ATC responded "negative".
Night time, localizer approach, radar contact.
Again, thanks.
