I look after the file servers in a missile factory. We're very busy at the moment - I think someone is planning something

I'm a contractor and the company I work for is the main one named for taking all that money off the NHS. It's not my fault though - the only thing I've ever had to do with those accounts was a couple of weeks working at the Kremlin in Leeds (Quarry House). Most of my work is in the defence industry.

I have heard various bits of inside info though and have my own take on why it went so horribly wrong and we took so much money off the government. Number one question I have (and have had since the program was announced) is why a project whose stated intent was to provide a centralised and unified records system was split into regions and tenders awarded to different companies across those regions? After that I think the main problem was down to the customer not really understanding what they wanted or how they wanted it. Our company's shortfall I think was in not managing the customer - we should have drawn a line and refused to allow any more creep in the targets until we had met an initial set of criteria. What actually happened was that the customer kept making the goalposts further away and each time they did it we said "yep, no problems but it'll cost you £x extra and take x many more months/years" and they kept agreeing and paying. Our management should have seen that it was all going to come to a head eventually and we would be the bad guy because we had taken so much money off them. Some would say that's all with the benefit of hindsight but it seems that all the other companies that had the contracts for the various regions could see it coming and bailed out - our management was just stupid enough to pick up the hot potatoes that they had dropped and finally we are the ones left holding them all.

I loved that program. If a new series is rubbish, I'm blaming you and you alone
