    If businesses screw themselves up trying to do dodgy out-sourcing, leave them to it. Eventually companies will either see it as not being especially worthwhile, or will figure out how to outsource effectively (which is possible).

        Oh, just noticed this. There was more than just an oil embargo. That was but the latest in at least 50 years worth of provocations.

          I wouldn't like an office in Oval. Too close to Elephant & Castle.
          I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

            That's close to Stockwell, I believe. Surely we wouldn't want to be a Brazilian electrician in these circumstances...

              You mean a Brazilian electrician that was in the country illegally? A fact that often gets missed.

                Out of interest, could you please remind me the date when the USA declared war on Germany (presumably because of Versailles)

                      Actually, you could argue that had the USA not moved their fleet HQ from San Diego to Pearl Harbour, the USA/Japan bit of WW2 would never have happened. The Pearl Harbour attack wouldn't have happened in San Diego because the surprise element wouldn't have been there, and wherever else in the Pacific Rim the Japanese attacked they knew the the US Pacific Fleet would be too much of a threat...so if they couldn't knock out the US Pacific Fleet a la Pearl Harbour, would they have started a fight?
