Here is yet another copy of the Canberra Planners' Credo. At one stage, this was the most famous thing that I had written (and maybe still is). It dates from 1996. It was mentioned in the Times Literary Supplement a few years ago, which is some sort of achievement for a piece of postgraduate student work-avoidance.
