Night-desk rule for Manchester: if you would not ring a bell in Spinningfields at that hour, do not Slack. Northern hours end earlier than London's. 17:30 is already the tram home. Manchester still shifts with daylight saving (UTC+0 in January, UTC+1 in July). The polite window around Spinningfields is 09:00–17:00 local. Put the timezone in the invite title so nobody has to do the math in public. On an ordinary weekday in Manchester, treat the desk as reachable only in local business hours.
