I believe I can trump last January. In an overarching discussion that oulined the challenges underpinning current operations outwith the constraints of attempting to solutioneer [HOUSE!] the ISTAR piece in financially constrained times, I heard the phrase 'capability holiday' employed shortly after the decision to finally retire the PR9 was made.

To be fair to the 1* in question, what he actually said was 'Bit of b*gger to lose the PR9, really, since we need someone to spot we need the capability rather than try to con us with this "capability holiday" b*ll*cks'.

Obviously, I won't say which 1*, since the thought police will send him on an intensive management speak programme to be assimilated...
