Dear All,
Thanks so much for your replies....I think that we must all ensure
that we don't drop our persoanl standards as when we sign we have
performed a task the expectation is it is completed well and in a
court of law I think blaming being restricted won't stand up so we
have to be accountable for our practice and not be drawn into lowering
standards to squeeze more in.
Thanks Again
Dawn
