Doh! This is simply a crappy rumour by Crappy Modem without so much as a grain of truth.
Our main problem is not "redundancies, down sizing and retrenchment" it is quite simply how do we keep the high quality of selection to meet the expansion as it happens.
We are continuing to expand all three of these bases (to my certain knowledge) and therefore Crappy Modem seems to know as much as his callsign suggests.
A non-story if ever there was one.
Cheerio! Maxy.
