I agree totally, it's a shame to see such an established firm going down the tubes nlike this. However, correct me if i#m wrong, many of these companies that are now "closing down or coming along hard times" have had almost 15 years of un9interupted growth. makes you wonder where all the profits have gone??? IO bet th e owners are still running about in BMW's and Merc's

I do not know what Vehicle the owners drive. What is the real pity is the 20 Jobs that are lost and they are more than likely just ordinary Joes with bills to pay like everyone else. They are the ones I feel sorry for, the workers.
