Hooligan Bill,
No he's real alright.I don't think he'll be heading your way soon either,as we have several part valids who can't get fully trained,because of the increased night manning.That's before losing people to the sandpit,retirements etc..
It's happened before but people yote with their feet.Nats and Prospect are not prepared to improve things,so if they get better deals off they go.Yeah I could apply but I think I'll be retired by the time I could get out.If any more leave for sunnier climes then that will cause big problems.
