Fear not Alfie... cos as some people know... I am also a county mountie.
A 3% sample does not cut any mustard (see the report by HAy and LAcy...oxford archaeology on the usefulness of different sampling percentages... it puts the wind up developers and contractors when you have the hard facts to hand!)
second.. I know only too well the depression of going over and over and over and over a report until it turns more into your report than the Units. I am removing Units on specific tasks on a 3 strikes principal...
so a Unit could continue to work in say survey... but told it is not capable of recording buildings... only if they consistantly and after warning (in writing) that this will happen. They have no leg to stand on... I look at teh IFA guidlines and they clearly state the contractor has to be capable of carrying out the job and should have relevant skills and personnel...
give em hell... ALGAO will stand with you ... or at least BAJR will
lets get rid of teh [:o)]
the Hotline is a start..
