I'm a POWEM(R) General service and been made redundant in the first tranche, been in 26yrs. I would leave before september but I have kids at boarding school, so if I leave after they start their GCSE's i keep the CEA so its a no brainer. My son is doing an electrical apprenticeship so i'm going to tap his boss up for some work experience.

It's only the fact my lad is doing his apprenticeship that i'm staying down. The wife is from down here and hates it. As soon as my lad earns enough to get a flat i think we'll be off.
I might even pay his bond with my pay off.
