Menelaus, I agree with a lot of your scrappage.

We are still punching way above our weight.

However, can we keep the RedArrows please?

They are absolutely brilliant, they showcase our country, and my kids love them.

Fair enough. Can we reduce their number though from nine to six?

PS: I like 'em too!

I imagine the software systems are late because the players are only offering 35 quid an hour (at best) when the people with experience can get 65 - 70 in mainland Europe due to the exchange rate
As well as the usual poor design and management regime of course.

I bet the managers who took that decision are on more than 35 quid an hour. Plenty cheapness, many delays!

Or, alternatively, are career Naval officers who've never done a days commercial work in their lives.
