Looking at that list I was struck by how much better off we'd all be without being forced to pay for all that. It's a figurative pile of crap. Luke, how about you & Phil take them to your public meetings over the next month? What a visual! You'd have everybody's attention in a trice! ;) Extraordinary, isn’t it guys.

It wasn't sorted into the different categories, though. Doing that took about 4.5 hours of mind-numbing work. Phil helpedme out. Most of the work was looking up what the hell some of the entries are (what they "do"); deciding what to do with them was pretty straightforward! Hi Callum,
