    Time to book a ticket on the gravy train I feel.

    Give the Home Office's proud estimating record, the true cost will probably be ten times that. At least.

          Fozzy is PM'ing it and has outsourced the development work to Fraggle Rock.

            It's all part of our plan for universal domination. Zeitghost is the new project manager.

                  I meant - which world renowned elite consultancy organisation is handling the ID cards project? Sorry if any muppets were offended by the previous question.
