[Kharon]

Good to see Hitch has removed the rose coloured specs and is finally coming to grips with and actually daring to voice (sotto) the ‘problems’.  Like it or not; industry is stuck with the ‘vision splendid’ and only time will tell if it is to be just another handful of bog and yet another layer of paint applied over the rusted supports, or, a strip back and repair job; a replacement being apparently out of the question.  There is no need for any colour spectacles, but there is an established need for eagle eyed, clear vision and expert assessment of how the repairs are carried out, before acceptance.  Each and every movement and action needs to carefully monitored with proof of provenance established at each stage.

The resistance to real change is legendary, ancient and a default setting.  We have no option but accept the offering, little real say in the way the proposed changes will be made.  The changes will be made by those who have so perfectly created, overseen and managed the current buggers muddle.  New paint with old brushes, over the same flawed, rusty mudguard.  

Does the Leopard change it’s spots?  Not in my jungle.

Toot toot.
