Announcement 3: We have come up with a plan, and hope to instigate it in xxx month in xxx year.
Announcement 4: Due to reasons outside our control, we have to push it back to xxx month in xxx year.
Announcement 5: Due to more reasons outside our control, we have to push it back to xxx month in xxx year.
Announcement 6: Due to yet more reasons outside our control, we have to push it back to xxx month in xxx year.
Announcement 7: Now we are proud to launch it...scheme is ready, and open for business from the moment of Announcement 7.
Announcement 8: Unfortunately due to unexpected demand, misprinting the address on the form, some other reason, we have had one or two teething troubles so that the scheme will now start in xxx month in xxx year.
Announcement 9: The scheme is now running well, so here is a relaunch.
Announcement 10 (hopefully quite a bit later): The scheme although excellent has been superseded by changes to the profession, new legislation, devolution, change of government, credit crunch. We will now consult on a new scheme...
...and so it goes round again :face-huh:
