Very safe. ;D ;D ;D

Anyone who lived through the seventies when we were told:

1. nuclear power would produce endless energy that would mean it would be a waste of time sending out fuel bills as they would be so small.

2. Prepare for the 3 or 4 day week as computers do our work. You must get something to interest you in your spare time

No problems here - but others need to beware!!

Bloodbath going on in one company with whom I have links but no employment or earnings relationship. End game however might be relocation of their office which would have implications for me although not too serious.

I guess I am lucky in so much that my Job is Safe, indeed there continue to be vacancies almost in every county in the Country....... :y :y 

The drawback to this it I am unlikely to be able to get early retirement, although in my case health may dictate..... ::) ::)

Like most employed people though, in real terms, I have took a huge drop in salary since 2009.... >:( >:(
