Do keep up Chubs....

I was under the impression that the files where encrypted. Maybe I just thought that because there's 25,000,000 files on 2 disks, and thought they needed to be encrypted in some way to be shrunk down.
I think the only reason to be worried is if we find out that the disks have been stolen rather than just lost because I don't think anyone like you or me could get into the files on these disks too easily.

Gawd bless the Civil Service, lazy, bone-idle, pen pushing, so far removed from the real world chunts

I agreee!

Well, the quick answer is most of us never were in favour of ID cards, Mr Dibble, but of they ever materialise you can start a new business lecturing in identity evasion, based on your own tried and tested methods

Have worked in three govt departments so know that this sort of thing is an everyday occurrence, just not usually as serious. More often than not at the dole office or dhss, for instance, if a claimant ever rang or called in to query anything, her/his papers were inevitably missing and you had to spend ages scouring the office. Never could explain it except by postulating random bureaucratic black holes

now that I wholeheartedly agree with. They've never had to go out into the real world whereby if you don't succeed, you are effectively in poverty. They can be as bad as they can be at their job, but they won't be sacked (unless in extreme circumstances - even then they'll get a good pay-off) and they are guaranteed a nice state pension either way.

Yes, but that's only the upper echelons. Not people like, er, me

Yes, I know I'm over the moon at the possibility of someone getting their hands on my niece and newphews home address with great ease.......

Sorry but from my experience with the Civil service, it is endemic at all levels....

But they do need your childrens ages, your NI number and bank details to pay the cash, don't they

what else do they know about you then?

Well, you're wrong....most of the clerical staff who do the admin are people from working-class backgrounds like you and me, and they work bloody hard for not much pay.

What has being from a working class background got to do with the fact someone can do their jobs.....?

I would hazard a guess that things like time taken off for sickness in Civil Service/Public sector far outweigh that of the private sector

And there must be a reason why someone stays in a low paid clerical post....., apart from the love of the job...?

being working class has of course nothing to do with efficiency, however, If people come from a working class background, then it is not the case that 'they've never had to go out into the real world'.
'Hazarding a guess' is not the same as producing evidence. (I suppose you're implying that civil servants are all skivers? )

Finally, yes there are reasons why people stay in low-paid jobs. Many admin level civil servants do have a sort of common outlook based on things like wanting to work with the public and such like.

Are you as grumpy as you often sound in your posts?

Yes I am......

so what is so bad about white hair and black eye brows that upsets grumpy of clavering

Well, it does give people a furtive, unreliable look

They only become 'you' for that fleeting period they rack up £40000 worth of loans, then clear the account, or get that driving licence in your name then steal a hire car, in your name

Urgent........does anyone know a place that does eyebrow colour adjustment work.
