IT IS NOT A CHEAP SHOT it is how accountants and bean counters look at areas when saving money. Ever been asked to justify your departments spending to senior management ? Ever had every line of your budget expenses gone through ? Remember the thread was about budget cuts, I have been trying to get you guys to understand how in the big real world bean counters react. I am sorry you cant see it that way, I am trying to help you guys keep your machines your hours and your jobs. Once a bean counter has got his claws into something because he hears on the grapevine something, watch this space. Been there, seen it and done it, it is not nice, espically when you have to tell staff they have lost their jobs.
The " holiday " was an example of how a bean counter gets a perception and an assumption in his mind. Quite frankly I dont really care why the machine went to Birmingham, I am sure there was a perfectly good reason
SS you are quite right time to give up
