Call me an old Badger, but my God, if you have to verbally explain a change to a visual device, then it probably isn't a very good or effective change to that device - classic corporate "branding" to give some stinking consultant access to quarter of a million quid of taxpayers money again.
As for the "whinging" accusation, some of you need to brush up on the merits of banter over the dangers of carping - most of this is banter. And why would such an innnocuous change inspire this level of response if there wasn't some underlying and fundamental dissatisfaction with the very fabric of service life today? This is not whinging, it's symptomatic of a far deeper problem with service morale that will be ignored at Des Browne's peril. Another straw for the camel's back anyone?
