As I said earlier, he was also asked very explicitly TWICE by the previous controller if he was ready and gave ambiguous answers before he was even handed over to tower. This is not on the youtube clip. I was operating on the same frequency at the time.

We may have all fluffed it at little once or twice as might ATC (starting a landing clearance with a wind as an aircraft vacates) but this was a lot more than this.

It wasn't a world stopping event but all thr Nigels on Europe could really do with getting out of the habit of blocking holding points and runways whilst waiting for load data/cabin secure. As a general rule if you see Nigel pushing just before you, have some intersection figures ready.
