The americans say "xxx Heavy" everywhere, and the brits feel obliged to tell departure on which SID, pass alt, cleared level they are to everyone,
eventhough nobody seem to care outside the UK.
(And before any dutch start rambling about ATC in AMS which is good, sorry but a bit to gash generally !!
)
Indeed, always a pleasure to have British crews also tell me the QNH, the ATIS letter, Aircraft-type and the arrival they are expecting.
Luckily most of the time they don't do it when the freq. is busy!
I'll try to be less gash next time!
