It's funny you should say that. I've got a meeting and site visit this morning with some of the high and mighty to discuss possible solutions to this very problem and whether some of these proposed solutions are actually workable from the point of view of those who are going to do the doing. Watch this space .... BTW, I always appreciate any constructive feedback from members of this list as it helps me and the team to do an effective job. I know that BW certainly don't get it right all the time and there are areas for improvement. As a customer as well as a worker I have a vested interest in BW getting it right for all of us. Debbi
