Not homework...a project ...I have 12 months to complete
I did ask if they are being realistic as expecting anyone to still have a job in any local authority in the next 12 months might be pushing your luck a bit 
Homewerk, project, whatever.
Beggars bloody belief.

Wouldn't your gaffers actually be better employed finding ways and means of offering their customers a better value for money service, and encouraging you's lot to get on with your damned jobs, rather than all this tooling and poncing around like a bunch of rancid wanabe scoohell teachers, bloody tossers.
