Definitions

"While Western Ferries speculated the merits or otherwise of operating to the Dunoon breakwater, the decision to put the CalMac Clyde and Hebridean ferry routes out to tender was not running smoothly for the Scottish Executive. The schedule for its implementation had slipped because the process had been much more complicated than originally thought. And where there is complication there is scope for obfuscation. As will become evident, obfuscation prevailed in spadeloads."
