Hi Bean,yes ,I'd be interested to hear about that.It's a long time ago now,but I still remember the event I referred to,It was at a weekend,so I was working the Pole Hill/Irish Sea sector 'bandboxed',and I think the Dan was a joiner out of EGNT,can't remember much about the Midland,but they were taking each other's calls,and I did report the circumstances to the supervisor's desk at the time.
