A couple of things.
I flew from Blackbushe to the Bembridge fly in yesterday. Checked the Notam's & the Cowes event + others near route were clear to see. Cowes was mentioned more than once. But did anything actually happen there? I know the weather wasn't good for aero's most of the time, but I never saw (or heard on Solent) anything there.
Also, when I set off (11:50), the Farnborough controler was having to spend all her time routing a guy out of the Londonm TMA. It was very obvious that he was interfering with Heathrow movements.
Not only was he interupting Heathrow, but the Farnborough controler was too busy with him to even talk to most other traffic or offer an FIS. All this at a time when there was a lot of traffic & a cloud base of >2000'
Top marks to her though in a very serious situation.
The last thing I heard her say to him was an advisory that he'll be reported.
