    Where did you get the 50 million figure?

        According to the beeb it was 300,000, which is still a lot of money for what it is.

          I worked on a police system once. Application was filled with 4000 line methods, contract was pretty much to work on the 1000 or so bugs on the 'to be fixed before going live' list. Of course it never went live as anytime you touched a line of code you pretty much broke something else.

                and £49.7M for consultancy fees.

                  I've been in a police station a few times. Even the odd cell.

                  I reckon someone should knock one up for Egypt to show where all their escaped prisoners and ancient artifacts now are.

                      It's dead. Then again, I suppose everyone is having a go this morning, it being the first day after the announcement and all that.

                      Same thing happened with that gynacology website or whatever it was called.
