Talking of the National Audit Office, and risking a small thread drift, has anyone noticed the number of cuts in all sorts of research funding and services (NERC, British Geological Survey, Family Records Centre, British Waterways, and a lot of academic funding - check them out on a weekly basis...)that are quietly going on right now un-noticed by the great grey masses 'cos they don't give a monkey's tabernacle anyway? Of course it couldn't be just another way of diverting funds towards the hideous overspend anticipated in the run up to 2012, now could it?
