Spent part of yesterday afternoon looking at recent(ish) grey lit reports online (actually I was looking for something else but bearing this thread in mind, rare bit of male multitasking?), and am I wrong or is there a gradient in specialist reports in PX assessments from south increasing in quality/quantity to north across England? (sorry BAJR, didn't cross the border into Scotland) - although don't get me wrong, some 'southern' ones were fine (and some 'northern' ones were b****y awful!), just seemed to be a vague general trend. Do curators in the north of England have higher expectations? Have no idea what Specs issued by curators in the South/Midlands look like, but certainly the ones around here (mostly familiar with Yorkshire and the NE) usually specify specialist involvement so its written in from the start, the contractors know what they're tendering for and the client knows what they'll be having to pay for from the outset
