I'm an A/G Examiner; tell me where that is and I'll report them to the CAA.
I'm reminded of a friend's experience when calling H******n Radio may years ago. After several calls with no reply using his callsign (Turbo prop 10 as an example) and hearing the radio operator answering other aircraft, eventually he got 'Turbo Prop 10? What sort of f***ing stupid callsign is that; why can't you use your registration like everyone else?'
