    Nope, well I did try once .

    In fact I found them someone very capable in Poland (a rarity with my skillset).

    They decided he was too expensive and have handed over around £250K+ to me in the meantime

    You really couldn't make it up.....

    Quite. Banking. It's mainly just "Adding Up". A prime candidate for automation.

    I would class those in the 20,000 finance jobs we will lose. Consultants.

    Anyway, if we don't have banking jobs then how do you justify the 70,000 to 230,000 you Remnants have been crowing about?

    Hardly the 70,000 to 230,000 promised, is it?
