@Obelixx said "All good suggestions but I always thought it was coca-cola for stripping varnish and rust and cleaning metal! Grappa would be less sticky tho." That's because you have to use the 0% sugar Coca-cola! Then it's not sticky.

I agree it's a disaster zone. Like so many ideas from politicians, it's a great theory and if implemented properly would probably have been great in practice too.

That's partly down to the IT companies greed, seeing a bottomless pit of money because it's public sector, and partly down to the relevant government departments who seem incapable of creating a functional spec for a system and then sticking to it.
