Chairman's Award: Chairman's Award - Issue reason: Your outstanding contributions to this community have not gone unnoticed. IN my view you are a worthy recipient of the (rarely used) Chairman's Award.

From the experience of a sibling in civil projects, I think we are simply being played for fools. Investor support withdrawn over the last three months, causing mid-tier projects to stall, get the wobblies or fold up - there will be sales of projects wholly on the buyer’s terms. I fully expect those buyers to come from the usual stocks.

Aside from that there is a shedload of remedial work, some is now remediating the first attempts at remediation!

All that has stopped and l don’t see it coming back anytime soon.
