Thanks for the quick reply.
I can see you obviously have some problems on this departure, however I must point out that I have flown all over the world during the past 24 years and I have never been asked to confirm TWICE that I have the correct clearance. If we all start questioning every instuction/clearance given by ATC and vice versa there will be chaos.
If Manch ATC has a problem with some aircraft going the wrong way I feel it is for them to approach the airlines to complain rather than apply an un necessary patch to all.
