This ol' timer hasn't always agreed with
WWW...but his post (2754) I believe to be spot-on.... tragically and awfully spot-on. Even if (and that's a very big "if") the UK economy is heading for Hell more slowly, there'll be a protracted plateau as we stumble along the bottom before gradually starting to recover... but that's the ECONOMY remember...and when it comes to recession, our industry is always first in and last out. There's already a sizeable bank of rated and experiened crew out there looking for jobs... and many more will be joining them before next Spring. Who out there with more than a single brain-cell would throw huge sums of money at training right now? Sincere good luck to one and all, I've been through a number of recessions since the early 70s...but nothing like this. Cheers bm
