The same goes the other way. To the London Controller who had a go at me a few weeks ago: I really dislike being bollocked for "not listening out" when a reasonable amount was actually given. If you are having a bad day, hand over to someone who is not.
To the Guard Police. How do you clowns do it? Your transmit selectors have to be permanently selected to 121.5. How about just counting to ten before transmitting and also please do us the courtesy of giving your callsign.
Lastly to Simbad, if you are working the sectors over the Alps, how about having transmitters located in positions where they actually worked?
