    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?

    Sorry, I'm down in Somerset on the weekend of 15/16 Nov. Getting the car serviced (it's far cheaper than in Essex), visiting the parents and getting some quality runs over the Quantocks.

    Well, so far 15/16 November is a provisional date for me, it may well become the weekend after, as I am in the Peak District the weekend before so may need/want to be at home the 15/16th...

    That last link is to my OMM partners thread on the OMM on the health and safet forum... interesting
