I would love to know whether NATS were been genuine, or whether I was just dealing with a total numpty!
As far as I know that is outside the NATS criteria. I think the limit when joining is -3. I'm currently -1.25/-3 but was slightly less than this at initial - -0.75/-2.75 I think. Of course once in it's accepted that your eyes get gradually worse with age.
