    Well done the Home Office IT systems - which of you was it?

    We needed a duplicate of my wife's British naturalisation certificate. We were able to order it online - took 15 minutes (and £250!) - job done. Really well thought out, easy to use online system. I'm impressed.

    So which of you was it that implemented it. It's as good as the passport renewal service.

      I've also been pleasantly surprised by some of the government/public sector websites I've had to use recently - the Covid jab one seemed to work well enough, and also a hospital one I have had to use to manage bookings was, frankly, amazingly frictionless when I used it for the first time (enter details, get call back on landline with a code within 30 seconds, proceed). It is worth noting, just occasionally, that the "public sector inefficient/crap at everything" mantra is really just a fabrication of the right. Private sector is very often much worse.

        I worked for Crapita. And I've worked with Crap Gemini. Nope. It's got to be contractors or a small company somewhere. There's intelligence behind this.

            It's a million dollar question - should ask the Chancellor

              He's too busy balancing the books of the home furnishing venture.

                    I knew a few guys who work for the Production team. Bunch of young talented English chaps. I bet it was them.
