Unusual bit of RT!
Just on our way back from Caernarfon in our Jodel yesterday evening around 1900 local, approaching Ludlow, and monitoring London Information as you do in that part of the country.
Heard the following exchange:
(KLM***) London Information, this is KLM***
(London Info) KLM*** pass your message.
(KLM***) Bit of a cheeky one actually, do you happen to have the final score in the Netherlands versus Ivory Coast match? Some of my passengers are very interested.........
(London Info) Stand by, and I'll get that information for you.
Short pause.
(London Info) It appears the final score was 2 - 1 to the Netherlands.
(KLM***) Thank you, you have made some of my passengers very happy!
(London Info) You are welcome sir!
Made me chuckle anyway!

BRL says 
I say
A fair number of GA pilots say
We get quite a few complaints and sarcasm on freq from pilots when giving out scores. It does not take up much r/t time and happens on the airways frequencies as well.
If we standardised the phraseology for passing scores in CAP413 do you reckon the irate minority would be happy?

Cricket score?
When serving in Iraq I had a BA**** "could you possibly find out the score in the Ashes Test" I replied "Im Scottish why would I care" long pause and in a sad voice "Roger" dont worry I did get back to him with correct score!
Though when I worked in various Ops rooms especially Giibraltar when ships used to ask via computer link footie scores when they were miles away in the middle of the sea..quite a few guys used to tell porkies!! Just make sure they are not docking in Gib!!

Serious point.
On other threads, the CAT community complains bitterly about GA doing training fixes and practice pans, because they allege it disrputs their situational awareness.
However, it is okay to pollute London Info with requests for sports scores.
Hypocrisy rules.

Well according to various and sundry CAT boys on another thread, someone calling "G-ABCD training fix, training fix, training fix" and receiving the reply "G-ABCD 5 miles west of nerdville" causes them to have to switch off box # 2 or 3 and risk being shot down.
BTW, I meant Hypocrisy rules (okay), not that the rules were hypocritical (unless you were making a pretty subtle pun, in which case good on yer.)
No attack on ATC intended from me, BTW, just on a few hypocritical line pilots.
