ID Cards

Just remembered: the Telephone Preference Service (or whatever it is). It's a winner, because if you opt for it, and TalkTalk/whoever rings you to sell something, they get done. Hooray!

They only get done if they are based in this country, I believe. Overseas callers do not apply.

Let's look at HMG's recent track record:

* Scottish parliament building - 900% overrun by the finish

* Olympics - Last winter there was a 250% overrun already after eighteen months, with another five and a half years to go

* Network Rail - 300% overrun across six years, there is no finish

* NHS (NPfIT) - Who knows!

So for ID cards I'll guess 300% overrun after five years, and it will never finish.
