Another great video 2Ds:

Ah, the cowbell: Nostalgia indeed.

Did you spot the instruction to one of the traffic 'squawk XXXX and standby'

The response to this request (if any) was discussed on here years ago, but for the life of me I can't remember the outcome of the discussions, but I'm sure it was contrary to my belief.

Yes @PeteSpencer , the combination of an instruction requiring mandatory readback, concluding with the word "Standby" is one which I don't think ATCOs are meant to use.... but they do with alarming frequency.
