I'd like to go for something different too - maybe this year might be the time to change...?

[ChrisW]

Good for you mate! Sounds interesting, let us know how things progress

Good luck for the future

Peter, Robbie, I think it's going to be one of those years for quite a few people. I'm looking at a few options at the moment, one expanding on what I do now, another a business purchase, and lastly a complete change of environment. All good fun

Cheers

Thats ok if you qualify for a nice redundancy package (which isn't nearly as good as the press reported it by the way).  First 2 years I was here as a contractor and that doesn't count apparently.  If I stay I get about £3k and then have to start looking for a new job along with 900 other people.  And who knows how long it'll take to find another decent job.  £3k won't last long.  Better to jump now to something with some security I think.

yeah simon works up there and he has 10yrs service and the last few are qualifiable even though his position has been contracted out in waste water

[Steve_666]

Nice one Mark! Giv us a shout when you have your leaving doo and maybe we could have that long awaited EC night out in town eh!

Anyway, I thought you were going to be Westwood's best man on Pimp My Ride UK! 

[Steve_666]

Balls! I have just realised, who will MOT my old scrapper (and before you say it I mean the Volvo not the 185  )

DOH!
