What is your method for landing on the bump at EGCC 24R?

Last time I flew into EGCC we were in a 767-400, the Capt. flared normally, the it was apparent we were going to miss the bump and we were going do some very low flying, he deftly put the right main on the bump and she settled down nicely on the runway, with lots of room to spare. I have EGCC trips next month, I will try and flatten the hump for you and adjust my back at the same time...
Normal approach until you are over the runway, then allow the aircraft to sink just below the normal approach path. Flare at the normal height but with just a little more (1/2 degree) nose up than usual and then as RoyHudd says let the slope come up to you, remembering to look well towards the end of the runway.
Notwithstanding the usual bollaux from 411, beating the bump really depends on what you are flying. Landed a couple of nights ago in a 747 at MLW. If you try to grease it on you run the risk of flying past the hump and in a classic widebody with steel brakes at 285 tons when it's wet - that means overheating brakes. I flew it on and took the banter from the positioning crew!
