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. ![]() ![]()

![]() 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 .
