Whilst I can sympathise with the guys and gals at MACC who anticipated another band-boxed Saturday morning, but got dumped on, you really should find out just what was happening on those LATCC sectors that you are castigating for their lack of co-operation. They were also suffering from staff shortages, albeit not as bad as those affecting Bristol and the west, and were "dropped right in it" by an over-paid Flow Manager who failed to implement the restrictions required by the Watch Supervisor. I believe that both Daventry and Lakes sectors filed overload reports. No wonder they showed little enthusiasm for solving Manchester's problems as well! Yes, it is a team game - we just need a better referee!!!!
