I'm there until the end of September, at this stage.

Sigh. Again.
Having read that article, doesn't say much for those folk now living longer , home during the day AND most loyal to Aunty.
Plus previous 'reviews' this year said Aunty didn't need digital resources (!) nor an online presence... #-O

(I could say a lot more, but this site is too public)

Yeah, he said it after the ex-competitor in charge of the review came out with the so-called productivity recommendations a coupla months back.
