Shaun Ryder, don't be such an arse.
I have every sympathy for your impending redundancy, but don't blame the 'scum' for doing exactly what you would have done had it been around then.
Blame the 'scum' at the top, raking in the bonuses.....
Windsheer,
I can't speak for others (although I'm certain there are tons of old schoolers out there that think/feel alike), but I for one chose not to do this then, and won't do it now!
"It" was around then, as "it" is around now, which we obviously already know.
So I'd say, be careful not to speak for others with certainty.
Further, I do realize that if I did "it", I'd probably not be in this
position I'm in now, but no matter what, that is the way it's going to be.
Unfortunately, the "old school" mentality is dying...funny, so is good ol' stick'n'rudder airmanship!?
