        At clientco all the decent Indians moved over here. So that leaves 148 over there and 2 over here.

          We need to invest more in media studies so we can produce more reality celebrity film and television shows to sell round the world.

            No, the Dutch have cornered that market. Endemol dominate the tellypulp business.

              And #Police Stop Action# that is a hit in many countries. You can go to a bar in just about any country and when it comes on the tele., there they are, cheering on the polis or chav depending on which suburb you're in.

                Well. according the UK Border Agency website. in 2006/2007 - Approx 29,000 workpermits were issued just from India. doesn't say how many of those were in IT...But I think the media bandies about numbers like 14,000 or so.

                    The English Language schools in places like Oxford, London, Hastings, will be loving the fall in the pound. It'll keep a fair few buy-to-letters in pocket too.
