Obviously these are all just anecdotes, but they do play against your weird belief that private companies are all humming machines of efficiency while the public sector is just flushing money down the toilet for a laugh.
OK, I think we can both agree that I was not, even at all, suggesting that private companies are ALL (or anything like) 'humming machines of efficiency', and in fact clearly said the exact opposite.
Similarly, I equally did not say that the public sector 'flushes money down the toilet for a laugh', and in fact offered my own hypothesis as to why inefficiencies seem to creep into the equation over time, albeit said this was an
unintended consequence (and therefore not a conscious decision or intention at all).
So basically, then, your entire post is facetious, provocative and, most importantly, is based on a deliberately false premise from start to finish, which I'm somehow expected to defend/answer to despite not saying or thinking anything of the sort, and if I don't do so I need to "get over myself" (oh, with a nice little 'weird belief' thrown in for good measure to up the ante, despite my having taking quite a lot of effort to explain my reasoning). The reason why I didn't answer you (and why to have done so would've been fucking tedious for everyone else reading), then, should now be crystal clear? Good.

I like "my chum" EBG and yeah, we agree about some stuff, but most certainly not all the time. See above. (Funnily enough, though, I don't feel the need to forensically dissect and nit-pick _every_single_thing_ that he, or indeed any of my other some-time detractors have to say)
Seriously, I'd have a lot more respect for you if you just called me a cunt and had done with it. I really would.
Now if you'll excuse me etc.
