As with most of us, I could recount many tales (and have done so previously!) of the utterly **** standard of service accommodation and its woeful management...some of which are frankly laughable.
But I'll resist this once, and merely point out that I think whenurhappy is onto something...
Perhaps the RAF needs to UDI and look after itself and establish a professional works branch rather than using well meaning but hopelessly ill experienced Admin Officer to administrate the budget?
Agreed, but it's worse than that IMO...all to often the ultimate and sign off responsibility for all sorts of buildings and their budgets falls to someone as a secondary duty. This is flat wrong. In fact (excuse the digression) I would suggest the whole secondary duty concept is decades behind its "expiry date".
