Consultants ...

In recent years the job to be in is consultancy. Call yourself a consultant on virtually any topic and you're in! Look at any major Government project and dig into the costs to unearth the exhorbitant consultancy fees. Where would we be without them? Well, judging by the outcome of many high profile projects a lot better off financially and the projects themselves would have been delivered a lot more efficiently.

Add them to my expanding list of professions nobody would miss if they disappeared.

Q: How many consultants does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: One consultancy firm, but the process will take six months, bids will be tendered for the change, and the cost will rise from an initial estimate of £5000 to £250,000 by the time the bulb is changed.
