My guess is eeny meeny miny mo.
Well...... far be it for me to put full-time jobs at risk but.....i would suggest that the 14 minutes a day will simply be fleeced from my existing prep time under the guise of the wonderful new agreed(as yet unseen) standards.
After all if you can prep 6 DTD in 14mins(into a fully prepped frame) just imagine what you can do with a walk sequenced tray.
You are absolutely right - pretty soon it will be pre-prepped and bagged and the next step will be those Jap robots who can climb stairs and print the D2D as it gets to the front door - watch the Gadget Show on Channel 5 ...................... the future's scary. Look at the advances made in the rubber dolly market, they have built in everything these days..............or so I've heard. :angel

But if you watch the Antiques Roadshow - the old dollies fetch the highest prices. And people always have a soft spot for an old teddy bear :whistle

Yes you're right clash, one female acquaintance said she had a soft spot for me - it apparently was where her pond had been in the garden

This is Heinrich the Postman Steiff.
And that round his neck is a muted posthorn.
