Excellent. Three ways to tell a control room you're lost...

If W3W was that good, it wouldn't need those integrations.

A six figure grid reference is accurate to 100m. It is generally not too difficult to remember and repeat two three digit numbers.
Eight figures gets you to within 10m.

Don't forget the sheet ref. Without the two letter prefix they might look rather a long way away. :)
