Well, I'm going to reply anyway :D

Interesting. Our Part 2 says that our departure separations are minima and not to be eroded for any reason , except where the application due to differing speed groups would result in excessive separation (ie, F50 on a DVR followed by a 737 on a DVR - we should give you five minutes)

Nothing is actually in our Part 2 about phoning up for two mintues.

Ooops, maybe I shouldn't have said that!

interesting post gonzo, how then do YOU justify vis seps? :)

Sorry, should have mentioned that's for departures on the same inital track!

There's always one, isn't there......... :ok:

Small point, but it's actually OUR service provision because, unless I'm very much mistaken, NATS pay your wages too.

Your Them/Us attitude is exactly the one that most OJTIs spend valuable hours trying not to get trainees to take on. Posts like yours remind us why - thanks.
