Seems to be spreading. I was working a certain ATSU with a basic service in Class G and called to say I was squawking 7000 and changing to XXXX for MATZ penetration. The reply was "If you receive no reply return to this frequency" - ok maybe it was trying to be helpful but at the time I thought under what authority they were they instructing me to do so?
I appreciate that a controllers job at somewhere like Cambridge can be challenging but we've stopped sending student cross countries there after they started getting picky about visitors at the weekend and appeared to be playing "airports".
