    Just a simple enquiry, I wonder if we're getting a roadmap today? I'm not sure if DTG are still on their holiday break, but it would make sense to get a roadmap today since there is clearly stuff releasing soon that isn't on the roadmap (eg. that secret UK route releasing before Harlem).

    No roadmap today, the first one for this year is looking like it will be the 11th.

    Hey fanta, today is the first day back to work for many people at Dovetail and one day isn't enough time to get a Roadmap put together. Especially as there are still some members of the team who are having an extended holiday.

    It's been Christmas and probably little to actually update (and even less time to compile, edit etc)

    Understandable, since after the last roadmap work was winding down for Christmas and now it's starting to get going again.
    Hopefully, there are going to be some interesting additions or changes for the new year :)

    Wait, we annexed the rest of the UK?
    That's good news, for the Scottish Empire! :D

    2nd January (hence today as the 2nd was Sunday) has been a holiday in Scotland since way before Scottish devolution. Officially, it’s instead of Boxing Day which is not a bank holiday in Scotland (supposedly).

    Boxing Day is a bank holiday in Scotland, the reason we have January 2nd isn't anything to do with bank holidays;

    Unlike the rest of the UK, our Hogmanay (New Year's Eve) celebrations often last through Jan 1st, so the Second is a bank holiday - that's why we don't get Easter Monday, however.

    Jesus, let the people enjoy some family time lol.
    It's the first day back, most people on their first day back end up reading all the emails that are coming through.
    There's shed loads of people that don't go back until the 10th.

    Scotland has some days that England and Wales don't, conversely England and Wales has one (I think it's only one) that Scotland doesn't
    Either way, Tuesday 4th January 2022 was NOT a bank holiday in Chatham, about a mile from where I live.
    If it were I wouldn't have had to drive to Colindale to get headaches from spreadsheets written by incompetent quantity surveyors (rant over)

    A reminder on the basic principle of the roadmap: each one is superseded by the next. To that end, until there is a new roadmap, the old one is still valid. At this time of year the company slows to a halt for almost two weeks with many members of the team adding extra days to make a good length break out of it. To that end there really isn't anything new to add or change in the roadmap anyway.

    It'll be back next week, and should be pleasantly informative.

    Everyone going to quote that if it isn't, aren't they :)

    Seriously though, I look forward to the roadmap next week, the start of a new beginning for this year, one might say.
