    Good for Toshiba.

    Products built for less & increased margins.

    :whistle:

    Bad for UK consumers, what will this do to Toshibas levels of support and service in the Uk? - which is currently top notch.

    Bad for british jobs and our economy. I don't suppose you mind though. Another one gone thanks to to gordons miracle economy.

    Nope. why? does my post imply that? Just pointing out that it's good for Poland.......obviously it's Bad for Plymouth but I didn't feel the need to repeat that.

    I make my own job so don't feel able to comment further on your remark.

    It's an interesting idea. Could you offshore yourself?

    I bet Plymouth people buy loads of imported stuff because it's cheaper. If they do that they can hardly complain the company they work for does the same thing!

    I can feel a poll coming on.

    Just saw the poll.....busy making things today but will elaborate later tonight.
    Could I offshore? Probably, but a lot of good reasons why I won't at the current time.....none to do with cost.

    I just saw BB post on the poll thread...similar kinds of issues.

    Plymouth is so horrible.

    Plymouth's OK except for the litter everywhere and the fact that it is a bit remote.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    I assume you would be of the same opinion should YOUR Job be transferred somewhere else within the EU ?? :rolleyes:
    Its a free market in Europe and I would rather my job ended up in Europe then in Bangalore where our company has relocated a certain department and anther one to the Philippines. If you need a visa to work in this country then your job should not be shipped out to that country as to me its the same if I employed an illegal immigrant I would be fined £5k or whatever it is now.
