A proprietary system "owned" by a failing company that causes more problems than it solves? No thanks. The emergency services have had problems: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-57156797 The fundamental problem with using "words" as unique labels, is that language is inherently contextual...

So you're saying the professionally-devised strategy was to irritate people?

Yes, they're discussing how *bad* they are. In the same way, I'd judge the SSS as being a bad campaign. Either the people who designed the SSS campaign actively wanted to irritate people, or they weren't capable of coming up with a campaign to get the message across without irritating people...

I was woken at 0115 by a rather loud diesel clatter followed by what sounded like lots of wagons/carriages/something halting on the line near me (just outside Hertford North). It seemed to be moving quite slowly, and stopping / starting fairly frequently. Does anyone have any data on what...
