Thoughts ...

"Going by the book" and "Doing the job properly" - two phrases that keep cropping up on this board ...

"Common sense" - appears occasionally ...

"Discretion" - appears rarely ...

"Arse covering" - appears ... never ... but is implied EVERYWHERE ...

"Going by the book" would be great - if there was a bloody book (well, maybe a "National Book" with 3,000+ "local supplements").

"Doing the job properly" - see above.

"Common sense" - appears either to be ignored or knocked out of you by DOMs, linos or people who "Go by the book".

"Discretion" - appears to be ignored by all due to "Arse covering" brought on by "Going by the book" ...

It's took me about 5 months - but have I got it about right ???
"We're under model" - oh no we're not - stick your lapse elsewhere ...

The day RM and CWU start using words like "common sense " and "discretion" will be the day to leave
