Corporate Idiocy
Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

have you seen these modern, energy efficient lights though?
At ferrybridge we're replacing a lot of the street lighting with LED lighting, that supposedly gives out the same quantity of light as sodium lamps for approximately a quarter of the power consumption. All that has really happened is that the station is like a black hole at night. Also these "guaranteed for 10 years" fittings seem to stop functioning after about 6 months, but that's probably where they get their power consumption figures from.
Sodium and metal halide lamps ftw!
