Well I'm with the Retarded one on this.
Don't these Atcos realise the work involved in reaching up to the glareshield and winding back the speed? Are they not aware of how exhausting it is pressing a couple of buttons on the box to execute the LAM hold?
As to having to sit at the hold for a few minutes while some toffy nosed Nigel jumps the sequence from an intersection- It's akin to six years in a Siberian gulag !
