[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 8199542, member: 2119"] Yes. Pesticide user form next. Why the sudden need? Another hour or two gone. Just filled in my June Return. Yet all the info was submitted on my BPS form, except for numbers working here and my ethnicity. And is that really necessary information? Costs could be slashed if the will was there but it isn't. The way it appears to me is that DEFRA are scared to death of the collapse of environmental schemes as they'll have nothing left to do. It amazes me that we need such a huge civil service department to administer just one privately owned and run sector of the economy that we are always told is insignificant nowadays when compared to the sacred financial services sector. Look at their massive HQ down in London and all the thousands they employ. It's a joke. I think it was Alan Clark who said that the entire British Empire required less civil servants to run it pre computers than are now employed in just one government department. The civil service has become a self serving organisation and in reality no politician has the balls to face it down. That's why we are bombarded by one new joke scheme after another. They say the public want these things. The public couldn't give a toss about "public goods" as long as there is food in the shops. [/QUOTE]
