What would happen if everybody "dialled it in"? Well, we saw it against Palace.

I don’t know what you offer, in terms of is it a product or is it a service. I’m not saying you’d ever produce substandard work but I can guarantee that there might be a variation of quality or it’s taken you longer than usual to complete because of external factors or the difficulty issue which we’ve both addressed.

But it’s all relative, unless something is mass assembled….with the best will in the world sometimes a piece of work will not be quite as good as another piece of work. Its all fine margins, I mean if a pilot or a surgeon has an off day people can die…and yet it happens.
