The Vole -- Use it or Lose It

There is a joke in AV(2010)PLC that if you don't know what to do with a document, or other data for that matter, you store it on the Z Drive on the corporate server. Z drive is, of course, write only......

For many years much data, regarding Bandit problems, has been consigned to the Z drive. Not any more. Now there are parts of the system that, despite having "Towpath Renewal" programs and the like, are still regarded by most boaters as prime Bandit Country. The Curly Wyrley springs to mind....... From today all Bandit incidents reported to AV from certain canals will now receive maximum publicity.

AV(2020)PLC is also desperately trying to cut costs on the day to day running of the system.
What have the two in common? Well, I have it on good authority (straight from the executive loo) that parts of the system are to be close down "for the safety of the public" during school holidays, but may, in actual fact, never re-open. The real reason for closure is of course to save money.The reason given, public safety.

A use it or lose it campaign anyone ?
