The overly paternalistic nature of the old DCA of Sir Donald's day was probably not good either ... but at least the system sort of bumbled along and things got done ..... the industry had some idea of where it might be going and the DCA guys could try to do a reasonable job ... without always having to watch that they covered their tails at every step taken ......
or is what I am suggesting heresy ? ... or even a longing reminiscence ?
even getting off thread ..... never mind .... Pilks will steer it back to the straight and narrow ..
