"Britech at it's best, now watch it go out the window to some US or EU company who will make billions !"

Yeah .... that is my worry !!!

We have good ideas *but* no stomach for funding things that are not going to work in the next 3 months or other stupid short sighted limits.

The US is good at taking risks and seeing things through to the end, even if it costs lots of money.

The only thing we throw money at is Govt projects that should never have seen the light of day.

i.e. HS2 or any IT project that the 'usual suspects' win then increase the price of by a factor of 5 and the delivery date by 5 years.

I know procurement is hard for 'big' projects *but* we *never* learn any lessons no matter how many projects fail to be delivered on time or to costs.
