the need to deliver a quick first achievement for the GAU
Hmmmm. Sounds like the need to get some good publicity is driving things.
Isn't that what we all criticize politicians for doing?
Getting things right first time would be preferable to getting something done quickly.. and sorting the errors out later.
(and cr@p clearance)
Does that mean there will no longer be questions like "If the time is XXXX in the UK what time is it in New Delhi?"
OK, I know, you cannot tell me that or you will have to shoot me.
