I remember being trained on TMA years ago. It seems that mentors always read the Guardian.
I encountered an unusal problem and eventually had to descend an outbound.
Head appears from the Guardian and says `First time i`ve ever seen an outbound descended. He peered at the screen momentarily....and went back to his Guardian.
There may be a number of elderly controllers who remember this as it became a bit of a talking point.
Happy Days.
