Well VX I think I witnessed most of those rules in action.
One thing that really used to pi$$ me off was the despatchers that insisted in following the load to the ramp and getting in the way of the camera lens. As if they were going to change the outcome of the trial!
One you missed:- lets go to Pt Magu with PURIBAD and APFC to guarantee the weather. Could not see a thing for two weeks so ended up at West Freugh gorgeous but *king cold, had to break the ice on the sea then terminated due to Foot and Mouth. As if the cows could swim.
