Agreed, this sounds odd. Would it mean that once you reach the top of the list you get offered an appointment at the next available GIC, even if it's at the opposite end of the country? And if not, isn't it just the existing waitlists weaved together for no discernible benefit?

Look, it was like that when I fount it! We are on a _wide_ range of C++ versions and some of them are less than a decade old. This is very compatible (wrong) code!

I feel that mocks have some good uses, but we have 100% been bitten by "we mock this call to respond with the response we expect when we make the call with the parameters we believe are correct" only for the real service to reject our call and we should have discovered this much earlier.

_A_ hot babe? Just the one? Were they on a budget or something?

ACCU in Bristol is further North, as is C++ on Sea which is on our South coast!

Weather-wise, if there was a year to make this choice, this year was definitely the one.
