After 5 months on the beach last summer, don't believe I will be going there this year.
2009 was really the first serious time I was without work since 1986.
Been three months at a LTSB and they actually honoured the 3-month rate review I requested at the initial negotiation - they've gone up 14% and I expect them to go another 11 in the next 48 hours or so.
Seems this whole Indian thing has not quite worked out for them as planned
