The RNLI have also fallen prey to the myth of greater efficiencies using modern management-speak and tactics.
They decided that the contractors they were using for repairs to the lifeboats (especially composite materials specialists) were too expensive and that the process should all be brought in-house - trouble is their home-grown talent isn't very talented and suffers from the sort of British work-place malaise 'oh that'll have to wait until after tea break' that plagues many industries.
The result? They can't get the work done quick enough or to the required standard so the contractors have to come back and save the day again
