Hi all,

A line manager at Altrincham DO told us it was "Delivered by Christmas" so in other words he doesn't have a clue....

Thankyou andy2007 for a proper answer.

Well, at least that's one DOM who knows what Day Certain is. But it doesn't explain why he didn't bother to brief you about it.

Spoke to a line manager about them today he said "Yes I've seen the markings but I don't know what it means" - almost immediately after that there was an advert on the 42" plasma box which has presumably been spouting this crap out for weeks - how did I notice?he had his back to the screen and I just happened to see it. Being a good officer I pointed this out - no I didn't - I thought ignorance is bliss.
