Yea, was reading about this a few days ago and wondered if it was going to affect you ...... on the basis of last in, first out. Glad to hear you made a move just in time.

Its a shame though, my sister may loose her house because of the credit crunch and her partner being taken off the same shift Richy used to be on ( 4on - 4off) the drop in pay now is going to cripple them.

Oh dear.

Its the way of business these days. I had my turn a few years ago. IBM let me go, and then still tried to steal 7k out of my pension fund.

Just the tip of the iceberg, I fear.

At least house prices will decrease back into reality.
