As you seem to have great difficulty with this I will spell it out in simple terms. WE are not talinging about the BT financial year but the planning year which ends in December and is Q4.

Everyone is except you. And the Openreach planning year ends in March. Re the "WE", you are not the Queen. You are not Royal.

Clearly you do not understand how companies work. WE are not talking about the financial year.

Openreach are. Who are "WE"?

I am not miixed up but you are. The Financial year end is not the same as the planning year end

Openreach's is.

What I linked to is a planning document albeit from a different year

So you are saying previously they did plan using financial years but just not this year. Honestly Bob, grow some and admit you are wrong, everyone knows it, everyone is laughing

It would be very odd, not to say "disastrous", for a company to have a different planning year from its financial year. The whole purpose of business planning is to try to make sure the financial targets in the budget for the financial year are achieved.

Having worked for them for 44 years.
The planing year is April to March, as are all their other yearly things.

It is not a black art to find if your cabinet is live or not.
But does depend on if someone uses an out of date database as cabinet go live can change overnight, as evidenced by the cabinet i am connected to.

Was originally scheduled for 30th Sep 2012, then got changed to 31 Dec 2012, as of Wednesday had slipped to Mar 31st 2013, but on checking tonight shows as being live.

This shows that dates for Cabinets or exchanges slipping for an AO status doesn't mean that it will take another 3 months to do, all it means is that when they do the quarter shift, that cabinet or exchange was not ready that day and would have it's date slip by 3 months on the checkers, even if it would be ready the next day.

Therefore your assertion that very few exchanges will get done between now and end of Dec is really just an assumption based on no idea of what is actually happening re making Exchanges ready.

I will say one thing for Bob. He is consistent in his stupidity.

I do wish my name wasn't Bob .
LOL

What's worse, is he can't see that he's digging a hole that he'll never get out off.

Oneday, he might even come up with a gem, that's 100% correct, but by then, no one will listen to him.
