      I didn't like it - even when I played for the school.

      Never played it since and never watched it.

        Same here.

        And quite a few of those new allotmenteer types Pete was talking about are keen to start with, but once the football season starts the weeds take over and they give up. (got thread heading back towards topic)

          It looks like People have got bored with the actual topic.
          The initiator joined April 3rd.
          His support seemed to wane after a couple of days and he hasn't contributed since 6th April.
          We seem to be rambling now.

            I enjoy rambling, as long as I have my walking boots on!

              Clearly your two requests (the SAR one not even being anything to do with FOI, that's Data Protection act) make you far more knowledge on the subject than me. After all, I only spent 10 years in a senior position working with sensitive data, as one of the analyst/programmers, on a government contract so I know nothing.

              I therefore bow to your superior knowledge on the subject.

                      I made the point about the SAR to prove to you your costs were way out of line, ie if one government department can do it why cant local Government? you maybe spent ten years in the same office, but it sounds like you never dealt with one single FOI request yourself (well I hope not lolz, tho you were fully trained, jeez what a waste of more government cash)

                      Have a nice day :spinning:
