With you there, HD. Same applies to me. I had a year in Class G , & in a little bit of another unit's Class D after retiring from Class A. It was a real "eye opener". In my opinion Radar Controllers in Class G are real heroes !
I could show you screen shots of such aviation muppetry from Class G that would make a grown ATCO cry !! Although the glider down the runway (opposite direction) at 50ft is my personal favourite - just a shame we didn't get his tail number as both us and the BGA would have "thrown the book at him". But as in most walks of life the poor standards of a few ruin it for the majority.
