I even mentioned it in post 32 (included in the response), but so you're clear, we've borrowed it & some day the Piper will need paying. So to that end cuts are being made & savings enforced on the public at large. I don't even assume to understand the logic behind certain procedures, but if it's what's seen as beneficial in the long term well so be it.

Whenever something is introduced & someone is going to be inconvenienced or out of pocket the howling & yammering is unrelenting, but if x years down the line things get better, the screams & shouts of outrage are quietly stuffed in the corner & forgotten about, normally, but there'll always be a hardcore of gripers who are never satisfied. If the cap fits & all that.
