    It's good fun when you need to go to the bogs or get a coffee when they are located on a different floor.
    If there are a few of you awaiting clearance suggest that the Prog office cabin boy does the coffee run for you all on demand, will save a heap of time
    ... obviously won't work for the bog run though...

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

      It depends on the client, I was marched off site at BAE whilst waiting even though I had been working alongside SC cleared people who were happy to escort me, when I was working at the doughnut in Cheltenham I needed a minimum of SC just to get on site with an escort.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        Well I did say most

        As usual there are some that take things too far and others that are reasonable.
