My point was that this is very often a myth that "we do not have a dead side" when in fact, depending on the traffic situation, a dead side/overhead join might well be quite safe. It's a potential procedure, not a brick wall! Agreed, you need an ATC service in order to "mix and match" - or very clear, published conditions.
EGBK - are you suggesting that you mix parachuting with circuit activity, albeit on opposite sides of the circuit?
