Management-speak b*****ks of the year


(From a government communiqué)

"..sunsetting low-impact functions....."

I think it means stopping useless work. Worthy of a Plain English Campaign golden bull award, I'd say.

Talking of sunsets, here's a sunrise snapped over Sherwood. Solstice tomorrow ..

    ""... sunsetting low-impact functions....."

    That's classic. Definitely worthy reporting.
