I sussed that when it mentioned a central datacentre hosted database and a local mirror server to support synchronicity. Systems like this are architecturally sub-optimal and would likely be at much higher risk of data corruptions where connectivity between the two are flaky / lost...

For the less familiar, at that time, SAP with Oracle as the back-end database were the "Rolls-Royce" tools of choice for enterprise solution systems development. Doubt there'll be any fingers pointed at them.

Annie turned up at a Satdean youth club disco at the Lido one Friday night in the mid-70s. As a cheeky teenager I pushed my luck and asked her for a kiss. She duly obliged with a peck on my cheek. Never forgotten... RIP Annie 😍 x

Lest we forget, 1918? Agincour for a dislike of the French, 1400s? Both go back way more than 50 years. Some folk have long memories, good and bad ...

Deal off, failed to agree personal terms. Chelsea insisting he takes Astrid for his WAG. Fergie says "no way!"

The prices of goods you buy *should be the same regardless of whether you're paying by cash, card or bank transfer. So are you saying cash buyers are paying bank charges indirectly? *should = not so long ago some traders added a percentage on for credit card purchase transactions but this is...

As I've said previously, I've not worked for PO or Fujitsu but I have worked on many, many projects that are big, both in terms of numbers of users and Petabytes of data. Horizon was a networked system with one or more terminals in each post office. I very much doubt any data would have been...

Is it a Specsavers now?

Crikey, a number 4 bus! When was that route dropped? I started using buses from late 60s and can't ever recall a 4?

So, do they pick names randomly from the electoral roll? I presume anyone with a criminal record would be unselectable? Is there any other criteria they use to include / exclude juror selection?

Binary ? Apparently there are 10 types of people - those who understand binary and those who don't ....

Inland Revenue used EDS as IT supplier and shortly after IR merged with Customs to become HMRC and EDS lost the contract to a consortium of Capgemini, Fujitsu & BT. Cap did software, Fujitsu did hardware & BT did comms. Accenture were also bought in selectively on some new systems. With every...

So, there's our evidence. Get the players smoking and drinking again as this very obviously protected them against injury. 🤷‍♂️

I consider myself to be reasonably financially savvy, but not wishing this post to come over as "Look at clever me". In the last 30 years I've not paid any current account or credit card bank charges. Yes I've paid mortgage interest and loan interest on the loan I took out for solar panels, but...

Using extreme-weather tyres. Easy peasy ... I did my skidpan training on the runway at Rednal Aerodrome after 2 inches of snow had settled. Most fun 2 hours of my post-50 life. Highly educational too. Seriously, controlling a car on snow at anything over 30 MPH is tricky and only fun if there...

Not remote control, remote access. IT support staff can't do their jobs without remote access to live data. I don't believe the PO truly thought Fujitsu did not have live data access.

Not in Sussex so mostly irrelevant. Years ago, was BT infinity 2, then went Sky TV with EE BB. Then Virgin dug the roads up and offered super cheep cable TV & BB. 18 months later they switched to silly prices do I went to NowTV for BB (Sky subsidery) and FreeSat. Been with them 5 years and no...

Haha Only an eejit gives out their password ....

I'd suggest this does cost you. PayPal is convenient but you pay for that. Try transferring in a tenner and see how much has actually been credited to you PayPal account. I predict it will be £9.71 They make their money on payments in not payments out. #expensiveconvenience

Clearest case of money laundering ever!!
