Wage inflation ...

I meant he was giving in the way that Labour are pouring billions into useless IT systems. Nice one, it will ensure there's years of patching and re-engineering to stop them rolling over on a daily basis, all of which filters down to us short term contractors ready and willing to bale them out, for the right price

My father-in-law tells me a true story of when he was in the army. They were told to dig some big holes in a field. Next day they were told to move these holes to another corner of the field. The following day they were told to move them back. It was purely to keep everyone busy.

I'm always reminded of this story whenever I think of Labour's "initiatives", and the value the taxpayer gets from them.

So that's where the phrase "Any hole's a goal" came from. You learn something every day, even when not expecting too.

And in principle the only way to "move" a hole is to dig away on one side and refill it on the other side. So they'd have had to dig a trench right across the field

The thing that surprised me was the average salary of a senior manager
