And here we are again... with sense and sensibility returning... Though we have now veered away from the original topic, in a way it is connected. as is always the way.
The web of understanding the entire problem is like a 2-dimensional being trying to comprehend a 4-dimensional world. However, the linking of standards, inspection, respect, professionalism, training, skills, performance, best value.. etc..... are all required to operate. I know only too well the constraint that was on me as a Development Control Arch - and I was quite strict.. but site visits became a luxury rather than a norm. With even more promised cuts to Curatorial Staff, just how we can carry out and inspection of standards is beyond me. It often feels like one step forward two steps back...
Hoorah for teh New PPS
Ah... though we will cut the people who will ensure the standards are met
Huzzah for Statutory HERs
Ah.. or access to a Best of HER DVD - as all the HER officers have been merged into one centralised person for cost reasons.
Yippee.. We have a requirement for a professional specialist -
we can't agree what that is...and who should arbitrate this good taste guide to archaeology.
WE should get better pay and conditions....
but sod it - if I will do anything about it
