    Poor pickles :(

    PN, at the moment all our Jobs at the Port of Felixstowe are very safe.
    The Port is undertaking a massive expansion project which will create many hundreds of new jobs and will have a positive knock effect for the whole of the area.
    Not only that the Port is investing Millions into the Countrys Rail infrustructure which will also create/secure jobs nationwide.

    What was the first bit of good news, I must have missed it?

    The Port signed up one of the Largest Shipping Lines to a 10 Year Contract.

    Not so good news for haulage companies / lorry drivers I guess?

    Hello Broders, it must be confusing having so many usernames, maybe it justs helps you come to terms with your split personalities.;)


    Hmmm......sorry Pickles, even though (the many faces of) Mr Broderick seems an ok guy, I've genuinely just joined and this is my only username. Never been into the multiple-personality stuff. My g/f has been here a while on the DFW board and pestered me to join the site, as she's fed-up of me talking to Americans on other sites.

    Nice to meet you, though.
    Fokking Fokk!

    I'm just obsessed as I am trying not to forget what it is all about.....
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.
