NAO
The NAO have a marvellous knack of stating the bleeding obvious of any given public funded body. Rank and filke then read their report and whistle with admiration at their observations and point out to their colleagues "I told you so". The powers that be respond gratefully through gritted teeth assuring the NAO and their workforce that the reccommendations will be acted upon.
And then F**K ALL HAPPENS! The NAO are a prime example of a quango funded by the public purse that gives the smug openess brigade the feel good factor.
What winds me up is that the NAO are very good and extremely well intentioned people who make some very searching observations, it is just a shame that those who should take action upon their reports completely and utterly fail to do so.
Happy to continue ranting, clearer observations made with addition of real ale!
