Making it work
The shared window is the morning in London and three and a half hours long, so it is worth protecting. Put recurring calls inside it and move anything that only one side needs outside it.
Offer two or three times within the window rather than one. Someone always has a clash, and a poll with three options settles in a day where a single proposal starts a thread.
