Thanks Happy, I can understand your logic about keep overpaying but not looking to closely as the numbers, less depressing that way!
The Government have been announcing the spending cuts etc. My brother is an engineer/traineer on the Harriers in the RAF, it has today been announced that the Harriers are being completely scrapped and 5,000 personnel will lose their jobs.
It sounds like he will be moving base and will have to retrain on a new aircraft. The worst part is his girlfriend has just resigned to relocate from Bristol to Peterbrough to be with him and who knows where he will end up now.LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)
