Re: Bugger
"The technicians are only interested in performance these days, not items that will bugger performance."
Speak for yourself, AC. Technicians want stuff working as it should - which is preferably as the designer needs/wants* it to, not as some asshat in an office** thinks it should. You seem to be confusing Marketing and Accounting with technical teams.
*Always assuming a realistic and achievable requirement and design.
**often now including headline-grabbing politicians, neo-luddites (sorry, "green" campaigners) and the "won't somebody think of the children?!" brigade as often as marketing drones and Realworld-challenged management.
