Nay lad - the lion ate our Albert!
Sorry to be serious for a moment, but I was thinking that this job could actually hide some corruption. Imagine that your a member of Blair's turkey army and the funding for your job has run out. What if you had a mate in another local authroity who could set up another three years of dormouse conservation for you. A fresh grant etc. Then they write a job description that only you can fulfill. Hey presto! You've got another three-year ticket on Blair's gravy train. I'm serious... I think there's a fair bit of this going on.
Rant over!
This obviously calls for another few positions, such as ' dormouse relocation manager' 'dormouse inclusion executive' and not to mention a 'dormouse services supervisor'.
Was it something I said? Where is everyone?
