I can see the point Terry #78 is making as we have the same problems here in Oz, no more manufacturing, all gone overseas to cheaper countries. Much of this is the result of continuous union demand for wages not linked to any real productivity. So no manufacturing apprentices, but plenty innother fields, banking and finance, insurance, retail etc. The world we grew up in is long gone and we must come to terms with the new world or fall down the cracks.,
