Yeah, they were on the backs of your own chairs. We didn't use them ourselves because we'd pre-ordered (and my phone's fucked), but they seemed to work for the people in front of us.

There's absolutely no way they could have predicted that closing all the pubs simultaneously would lead to groups of people misbehaving after last orders

I don't think it is the misbehaviour that needs to be the worry. Now that it has got chilly at night, it will be the packed tubes & buses that can't be good.

You can add NHS test results to it, but it's not straight forward - you have to go into the apps FAQs to find out how

An "NHS" app that is unable to accept or process NHS test results looks more than a 'glitch' and speaks more of ideological blindness, than anything else.

I bet they have and the answer was "yes! Let's roll with it."Tradeoffs in software aren't unheard of to meet a date. However, you do need someone to stand back and say "hang on, does that sound fucking stupid?" Clearly no-one in the government has been asking that question for quite a while.

When I was doing the IT thing, it wasn't at all unusual, at the point of starting to sketch out the data structures, to spot some obvious oversight in the design stage. It also wasn't unusual, when going back to point this out, and suggest a change, to be told that we couldn't do it inside the deadline, so it would have to stay as it was. Which inevitably bit someone on the arse at beta testing, and required all kinds of nasty messing around inside the application - sometimes now containing live data - to retrofit what should have been there in the first place. As I got more savvy (and freelance), I'd put the fix in anyway, so at least the database structure was sane, and just (for example) set it up for multiple cardinality when the prevailing design just needed single. Then charge an appropriate and hefty number of hours to "make the change", which was usually just some UI tweaks.Tradeoffs in software aren't unheard of to meet a date.

So I can well believe a cockup like this has happened for the reason you suggest.
