What Planners mean when they say . . . Planning can be somewhat of a controversial profession. Some of the controversy is whether it is a profession at all. I won't comment on the details of the controversy, but needless to say its the Planners who find themselves at the centre of it all the time. Here I'll present two views.
Planners have no personal relatives since their parentage is doubtful.
A planner is difficult to recognise. Because of the planner's vague affinity to the Arts, most local authorities will allow them to wear a higher percentage of mod gear than an engineer or a clerk. There is an unspoken agreement between authorities and planners as to how much they should support the image of the establishment. Most planners are employed by local authorities solely to create problems in order that they might justify their existence. The planners efficiency in doing so is equal only to their powers of multiplication once appointed.
