Only to the extent is says, in effect, that, well yeah I mean the CLG does say this and that and the other but of course thats rubbish and well you see like for example when they said 2.5 minutes they didnt actually MEAN 2.5 minutes, oh heavens no. They werent entirely barmy its just they werent quite sane, and well you know they werent entirely wrong is just that they werent right thats all. God what a load of platitudes.

Why could they not just say look the document is a disaster so bin it and use common sense or read the scottish guidance.

I believe the attached is the latest version of the Scottish guidance to which Colin refers.

You will note that no money has been wasted on presentation or formatting.

Not that I am inferring any incorrect and unjustified stereotypical conclusions about that of course. ;)

Ah, Big Al, one might have hoped that all these years playing pool in the fire stations of the East Midlands, and reading in your fire station bed, might have afforded you time to polish your internet skills.  Alas, clearly not sufficiently to distinguish between an html document (that's hypertext markup language, not high tall metal ladders) and a pdf document ( that's portable document format, not pee on the damn fire).  The former file type (the high tall metal ladder ones) sacrifice formatting for meaning, whereas the latter (the pee on the damn fire ones) are meant to be formatted documents. In your usual rush to put the fire engine into gear, you did not stop to hear the VF system A message and off you went to Buxton when the locus of the fire was Burbage, which is close by but, sadly, the wrong locus for the fire.
Try now looking at the pee on the damn fire version, and you will find it perfectly formatted, with many examples of fine punctuation that I myself sent in to the then Scottish Executive when they took the trouble to consult the public, unlike their English counterparts, who made a comple mess of it and then had to have people now try to put it right.
