Interesting and sadly all too true words there. The end result is we all be come complicit, grabbing that extra breath of air before we all drown.
I was once (a lifetime ago) the DC archaeologist for Midlothian... asst. archaeologist to East Lothian (long story) ... and I was never keen on lists. I was happy to say... This company has worked successfully in this area in the past. But the danger is that you (the client) pick from the list... and find yourself with a real do-do and then can come back at teh council saying... you said they were ok. The get out clause is that you have a disclaimer. Similar to the disclaimer here: http://www.bajr.org/RACSmap/default.asp (see the footer disclaimer) but this system does allow for searching in the locale and for various 'sized' contractors.
Nothing is perfect, but then neither should it be cheapest shark wins
