Re: End Of Another British Institution
Ridiculous to think that Mr Blair wants people in work & yet let a big employer up sticks abroad leaving many workers unemployed!

Re: End Of Another British Institution
The firm will more than likely have influential shareholders on the continent which has encouraged the move.
I doubt there's anything the government could've done. |

It is too easy to make people redundant in this country. We need the law changing to make it harder and more expensive to close down UK businesses.

Re: End Of Another British Institution
It may not be Blair’s fault directly shakermaker but he is the head of a government that is taxing us all out of existence. Thus you can hardly blame a manufacturer going to where he is allowed to keep more of the profits.
On a slight tangent – has anyone noticed that the new upside down bottles of sauce, ketchup and salad cream contain a liquid that isn’t quite as viscous as the right way up bottles, presumably to aid the stuff to come out. I’ve been standing my sauce bottles upside down for donkey’s years once they became about only one quarter full and I never had any problems squeezing it out. So once again we are getting short changed.

Re: End Of Another British Institution
Thanks for clearing that up Neil & Jambutty.
It is always sad to read when people lose their jobs & redundancies from large firms are becoming all too common these days. |
