It was the bane of civil service especially in the early years. Until old man complained to GKS and a special programme was put in place. OMS holders would be briefed very early but the rest not told. Old man scribble on the top right his displeasure.

Well, at least his was natural. Came across some of my colleagues who, upon learning a new bombastic word, would struggle to put that bombastic word in their report. Pathetic.
