Some more job losses for Brown to blame on everyone else.

.. More than 400 jobs are under threat at a frozen food factory on Tyneside that has gone into administration.

Newcastle Production, which runs Findus Food factory in Longbenton, said on Friday it had major cash flow problems. ..

Could that have been partly caused by fish quotas? I'm sure Findus used to make fish fingers.

I got my sofa from Sofa Workshop, long lead time of 10 weeks because the poles were shutting the factory for Easter, but good service and outstanding quality. Shame as they had smaller friendlier store fronts throughout london.

Findus lean Cuisine springs to mind.

Maybe people got too fat and couldnt be bothered with low fat frozen meals filled with E numbers?

The news will affect up to 420 employees working at the warehouse, which is currently closed after a huge blaze last week.

Now that smells fishy - insurance job perhaps ???

A great tradition in textile industry the 1970s. A joiner I know was doing some repairs at a mill while still an apprentice, and was asked if he intended taking his tools home oer the weekend. He said "No", and the reply was "Take your tools home lad". Over the weekend, the mill was destroyed by fire

Another Plan B - become a fireman?

Another 850 jobs going.


Is anyone keeping tabs?

JCB just announced another 684 jobs to go

A search for UK job losses to date shows that only Stormfront appears to be keeping a tally..must be biding their time

Are the BBC doing a daily Job-Losses feature on the news, like they did in the 1980s?

We did learn a thing or two from the Yanks In Iraq - ie we dont do job loss counts

As long as I've got work....I'm not bothered. i've got plenty in the bank...unlike said companies. If it comes to it I'll just starting doing networking and setups and virus scanning for a fiver to survive.

I guess my 10-year guarantee (on a purchase from last year) isn't going to be worth much

Isn't your guarantee with an insurance company?
