    I used to work for them as a tour guide at Bosworth Battledfield.

    Not that you really want to know that.

      Not contracted, but I wrote an Oracle training course for them a few years back.

        How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

          Of course their rates are steep - they pay from the taxes of the hard working middle classes, and don't have to answer to anyone on why they waste so much of this money.

            But if you work there you can pretend that you work at Stingray Central

              I meant steep as in very Low

                You think they're bad, try Leicester City Council

                Did a stint there a few years ago. Never again... it all went downhill after the head of department went on a basic DreamWeaver course, and couldn't understand why a database-driven Ajax application (although we didn't call it Ajax then) might take a little longer than building two pages about kittens and knitting

                  Marineville! Apparently it submerges and turns into a car park at weekends.

                    Public sector is probably the safest place to be right now....
