Devil Visual??

Whilst flying an approach into Dublin, Ireland I heard the controller say to a certain aircraft "only call yourselves visual when you can see the field".

Which made me chuckle.

Got the impression atc were getting tired off this outfit calling visual (when perhaps not!) in order to reduce track distance by some self positioning.

OK call me a cynic!
