It is worlds apart from my last job and although some of the skills I learned, risk assessment, health and safety, budgets are transferable most such as roll setting are not. Many skills are being lost and a lot of job satisfaction is going out of the window. I'm lucky, financially I do not need to work I do because I stayed at home for a year and nearly went do-dally, I think hat if I had to sit on a till in Tesco's all day after working in a job with MGR I would end up leaping off a tall building. People in a good job seem to miss the point, I remember my bank manager saying to me when my wages went from £1000 a week to £55 that my financial ranking would be damaged! I said to her that if she lost her job then surprise surprise so would her's! Politicians have the good fortune to be able to afford to talk through their bums. Rant over

I now how you feel John I was made redundant in 1991 and told that approaching 50 I would not work again , well I did , but not for the same salary . Of those Rover workers and others who have managed to find work many will be in boring £6 an hour jobs , you can't pay a mortage and look after a family on that . All these skills are being lost , just think of the companies no longer in business or who manufacture abroad - no new apprenticeships , Napoleon was right "a nation of shopkeepers " he just got the time wrong , the problem is one day we might have start making things again .
