Government, not Executive...

"Ahh, the Scottish Executive.... not Government,"

No reminder here, either

"He had no letters or e-mails advising this was going to happen."

Exactly the same here.

Additionally, I also only found out this morning that unlike before, any emails sent via Sky's SMTP server will have the "from" email address stripped out and replaced with the registered sky.com email. Which means any replies to the work emails I sent yesterday from home will have gone to my sky.com email address, which is in my wife's name, and which I never use. I can see *why* they've locked down their SMTP, but a bit of a heads-up in advance would have gone an awful long way.

Paris, because she never emails or writes either.
