Thinking back,we alsmost never do business with the Council or local government bodies for several reasons. Promarily because the language is far too inpenetrable and secondly due to the heavy investment in paperwork necessary prior to being able to bid on many tenders. I believe the latter is certainly related to the former via mindset. I'm sure LGAs deny themselves access to a lot of talent due to these barriers. I know of one rather excellent agency that actually poached someone from the Council simply so that they could speak Councilese with greater fluency and win more business. I understand the strategy worked rather well. I find myself in agreement with you in general.
