So why is it in my UK handbook circa 1997?

Sorry, but I think you're wrong. it's best not to let it idle to warm up because it takes longer and exposes the engine to wear and it also means the gearbox and other parts aren't warming up much if at all. So even if you do warm it up by idling, it's not really read to really go from the moment you pull away.
