I'm not worried by my direct manager but.... Up till a year ago my manager's manager(DM) flat said NO. No discussion, no maybe, just NO. We had a re-org last Nov 1 which moved me any my manager under another DM. When we had our 1:1 I brought it up and he said knock yourself out....and was conviently out of town on Tartan Day. I'll have to find out about St Andrews since I'll not be on business traval that day unlike last year.
