411A,
Time to take off the rose tinted spectacles.
Given the current political thinking and management inertia on your side of the pond it'll only be a matter of time before much of what we're experiencing here will most likely start to haunt you. Your system is facing many of the same
issues that are causing us so many problems here.
Your energies would be better spent trying to make sure that those that make these decisions learn from our mistakes rather then blindly repeating them as your much vaunted system looks like it might be about to do. Much more productive than your usual style of just taking cheap shots here.
WF.
