OMM in Borrowdale!

[Graham Breeze]

There are also lots of other skills that successful businessmen possess that Mr Weir did not display!

This extract from the OMM site makes interesting reading:
We asked Mark Weir from Honister Slate Mine not to transport competitors down to Cockermouth but he continued to do so under his own initiative. This made it more difficult for us to account for them. He had also complained that competitors were taking shelter in his café, eating their own food and preventing his other customers from getting access to the cafe. We offered, there and then, to pay for all food and drink consumed by competitors.

The last section about eating thier own food in his cafe is hardly a comment made by someone volunteering to manage a disaster situation!

I suggest the whole document, from which you have extracted this tendentious section, makes even more interesting reading. The only fault the OMM organisers admit to was "Our interpretation of the weather forecast obviously underestimated what actually happened".

Storm in a tea cup then eh?
