What I've noticed is teh digging up and replacement of paveing
slabs at bus stops. it was all done last year and the year
before
that. I'm betting teh council have a bit of money left over and
need to spend it ASAP or they'll loose it, so they just spend
it.

Doing that should be enough reason to sack someone. Budgets
should
carry over.



But they don't, that's the facts getting in the way again.

A budget is not a law of Physics,

But the law of physica is easier to chnage than the authorities doing
something logical and sensible ;-)

there's no reason it cannot be changed.

There's loads it's called govenrment.

Any private company would carry it over. What's wrong with
government
depts?

they put the most incompedent in charge and those that can do the job
do
the work rather than the admin.

I've noticed. Why on earth do competant people never get put in
charge?

Why would any competent person ever want to 'work' in a govt dept ?

It's easier.

You've clearly never had anything to with 'working' in one.

I've worked in private and public sector.

Obvious lie. Bludged, possibly.

It is not a lie.

There's no pressure to make a profit.

But impossible to get anything done.

Not true.

Fraid so.

Simply bend the rules.

Doesn't get anything done in a govt dept.

I got loads done, and was praised for avoiding petty rules.

Surely you get promoted when you're good at something?

Govt depts don't work like that, stupid.

Reason?

That's the way they are.

That's not a reason.

Corse it is.

6 year olds say "just because". Adults provide the reason.
