OK possibly a bit unfair - I am sure there are some politicians that do still have honour etc but there are a lot of snouts in troughs!
In the good old days you knew most politicians believed in what they said - You might not agree with them but thats a different issue. Labour, Tory and even Libs seemed to actually mean what they said.
Possibly a touch of rose tinted specs for the good old days, but not totally.

I can't image any politician being so patriotic these days, they'd sell us all off to bob to keep global corps happy.

On engineering drawings you have RFD's (requests for deviation). The manufacturer or customer will submit a case for the change and the authority that approves this will sign the change and this will be noted on a table of RFD's with a new version number.
I used to make helicopters from drawings.

On a serious note I know what Cojak is after, but don't know the official phrase. The building industry also has a specific phrase here (which is how they bill for changes to the original spec and actually make a profit on a contract won on a cut throat bid).

Is that note called a deviation note or notice?
I have to do something similar for an ITIL process and I'd like to use the correct term.Originally posted by Sysman View PostBuzz. Repetition of "Process". Is it my turn now?

Client wants a change that is out scope of the contract or spec so agree a cost with the supplier (usually extortionate) and it gets added to the contract as a Variance on the original contract.
