    It's a shame about the bankers that have lost their jobs but according to the Bbc unemployment in the NW is 4 times that of the SE, it's gone up by 2000 in the SE and 26000 in the NW.
    Women and the young seem to be the hardest hit, but still we'll see Mr Cameron later on the news telling us all how well we're all doing compared to Greece.
    I've spent most of my life voting Tory but this Govt is the best thing to happen to change voters, it's just that i'll have to wait another 3yrs.

    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    Thanks for the job offer, Mr. Ree, but I will decline.
    I read yesterday starting salary is only 50K and that's a tad too low I'm afraid.
    But I hope you find the right candidate soon. :T

    When I offered you the job as Trainee I knew that the £50k Salary would lose you, sorry - my hands are tied on starting salary.

    We shall keep looking.
