Given the recent foul-up with doctor's applications held in Excel, I wouldn't bet on it. Or the German alternative, for that matter.

You think you jest. The truth is far more bizarre. But at least it won't work, which is a bit of a relief I guess.

Do you know the technologies like Threaded? Have they mentioned them yet?

When the plan was announced in 2004, the likely cost was given as £3.1 bn, with each card costing about £30.

Costs have now risen to £5.55 billion - some £2.4 billion higher. Cards are now predicted to cost £93, but this may have to rise to £100 or the taxpayer will have to meet the additional expense.

Another amusing story of Labour's fiscal incompetence, but I thought Brown wanted to drop the scheme, likewise the tories, in which case it will be academic.
