No-one is disputing the quality of the products, but I'm gobsmacked.....are you talking 'eventual deliveries' and professionalism in the same sentence?

Basically everything is just purdy as long as it eventually arrives! Wow.

I think your idea of professionalism is grossly different to mine. Is it just ED that this version of 'professionalism' applies to or everything in life as long as a product arrives at some point in time?

ED don't have to balance quality, they have to start planning properly.
