Granted they have thousands of civil servants below them, many of whom I'm sure /do/ know their subject inside out, however when the boss gives you an unrealistic goalAnd have their own goals, too. Sometimes (often?) at odds with which ever government is in power at the time. All that tends to go on at the higher levels though. It's the poor sods on the coal face I feel sorry for, as they're the ones that cop it when everything goes tits up and people are sent bills demanding repayment of an "overpaid" tax rebate. I too worked in local govt. briefly. The missus worked for the CPS for many years. We feel your pain, Julian. :-)
