I am not having a go at Fas – they do a lot of good work. But, as Greg said earlier, that’s the metaphor which sums it up best: the Fas trainees being let loose unsupervised on the valuable antique pavments.

This is bloody awful. You’d think we’d have come further. Pointing is supposed to be secondary to stonework.
