martinmac Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Was doing some work on the pc the other night and had some rubbish on tv on in the background. They were discussing the governments actions to ensure we were all ready for the software problems at the milennium. Remember this panic well Could hardly believe it when they said that the precations and preperations for this meant the government spent the equivalent of 50% of the NHS budget getting ready.

Stew Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I wonder how much the total was? Including private companies and homes? It must have been heaps! I still laugh when I think about the folk who made there houses into bomb shelter style 'baked bean stocked' hidey holes waiting for the sky to fall in! I was wondering the streets and hoping into random parties on that New Year.... I was a pi**ed up 16 year old though! Yep, I wasn't even old enough to drive!
