Scheduling calls with Manchester
Assuming a 09:00–17:00 day at both ends, these windows (in Manchester local time) fall inside working hours for both cities.
| Paris | 09:00–16:00 in Manchester | 7 hours overlap |
| Dubai | 09:00–14:00 in Manchester | 5 hours overlap |
| Sao Paulo | 13:00–17:00 in Manchester | 4 hours overlap |
| Mumbai | 09:00–12:30 in Manchester | 3.5 hours overlap |
No shared working window exists with Los Angeles, Tokyo or Sydney, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.
