[Troll]

Any Bobs at the LSE?

HTH

Oh, thank God, you meant that LSE - what if the London School of Economics had been brought down

Nobody would notice?

I used to work in the - now demolished - office block behind the LSE Student Union bar. The council glass recycling lorry used to come round EVERY DAY to collect the empty beer bottles from the seven or so huge bins they had.

The LSE was brought down by 1pm, every day, as far as I could see!

Looks like it, they did the needful

Own up, which one of you was it?

[RichardCranium]

No problems about a lack of a robust design?

No problems with processes & procedures?

No problems with problem detection and resolution?

Just a dodgy contractor. Fancy that.

Still, I suppose it's a step forward from "a computer error".

Contractor takes the fall. Nothing to see here.

Get the CVs in, there will be a few roles available.

London Stock Exchange problem was network change mix up

The two-hour disruption experienced by the London Stock Exchange's Turquoise multilateral trading facility (MTF) this week was the result of an error by a contractor when making a small network change, according to a source close to the company.
