I got so into the story of the signs that I forgot to mention, towards the end of the piece, that of course all the European funding that paid for the expansion of infrastructure dried up completely after Brexit!Without those great wodges of dosh sloshing around to keep it all going, NRW was well and truly stuffed.
Thanks Chris. Always worrying when a Corp swaps names and numbers. Reminds me of the BWB to CRT debacle. Accountability out the window, downgrading of skilled workforce and, of course, a plethora of new signage. Shocking stuff.
Thanks Guy. Yes indeed, re-organisation implies that something useful and exciting is going on when really it isn't. An old tactic, as the quote atributed to Petronius Arbiter below suggests-
“We trained hard—but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we were reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing, and what a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while actually producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.”
Actually probably not Petronius at all but still a great quote!
