Totally agree. Brevity seems to have gone out of the window, as does common sense.
The last thing anyone needs when joining an extremely busy circuit is to have the radio blocked by some lengthy discourse from an aircraft passing 10 miles abeam- all too common now.
I'm late to this party - but recently most of my flying is done from Sywell. I've never heard such muppetry by passing aircraft on the radio as I have there.
People constantly stepping on eachother/talking utter nonsense. I appreciate some of these must be students but their instructors need to nip that in the bud. If they're at the point where they are navigating then they've probably got about 20 hours or so at least. Enough to know not to step on people. Or maybe I'm being too hard I don't know.
