I sympathise HOGE and hope that at last we may see a change for the better as a result of the demographic changes that are taking place. Having said that, you and I are here as a result of the big exodus to the FW world in the mid to late '80s and see what benefit that brought the industry (the exodus I mean, not you and I joining!)
I suspect we are well placed to take advantage of any changes that take place here in the UK and especially hope the changes in redundancy laws will benefit those of us who wish to perservere.
