I'm afraid to say that I've heard that story too many times already Fingers, we've been running the ultimate "lean management" programme here since Jan 1!

Hope things work out for you. Good luck

No Mate, limo went when Jo fell preggers with Nathan. The money wasn't constant enough so I decided to get a proper job again. I have been working for Westdrive KIA in Braintree for the last 2 years.

As many of you know I work in the automotive industry and things are really, really tight at the moment.
We are still reasonably busy, but it's all low value stuff...I'm paying myself pretty much what I was ten years ago to make sure I can keep my staff and not make any redundancies.
Good luck Fingers, hope it all works out for you.

Things must be busy at Westdrive KIA at the mo, I got a phone call earlier and I'm going back in tomorrow.
They need to make their minds up before I find another job.
