Where has this gone wrong? Who is responsible for scrutinising the maintenance of standards and why hasn't it been done in this case?

Gordon,
looks like he's let himself go a wee bit! I'm affraid that's what happens to Old RAC types!!!

On a serious note procurement goes for the cheapest and not best quality.. From a far they would look very similar to the untrained eye.. In a time of penny pinching we all have to economise, which often results in second best!
