of course i take your point Exrigger, but what would you have them do instead?
I'd personally rather know that plans are in place for IF we do survive, rather than know that those managers and policy-makers have given up already, and are doing nothing more than sitting on their hands whilst we pay their salaries!
how would it look if the TVOC engineer accompanying/chauffeuring the Scramble lads next week simply said, "forget it lads, I've got no job in 3 weeks time anyway!" and left them to it?
