    Good for Lairds - to my knowledge they have always recruited locally and been very supportive to the local community. If you cant get who you want in the UK then why not recruit foreign workers, everybody else does. As for the S*n its not even useful as toilet paper ( because that's what it is ) I am told, the print is that cheap and the paper such low grade it breaks up too easily to be effective.

    I hope Camell Lairds finds out who the anonymous source is and sue him or her. I worked by on a tanker in 1957 there. It was ok then, even though that was 60 years ago.

    Nice to see you back Jim.

    It will be interesting to see what happens to CL. I am not convinced that any success will be down to local labour as we have to be frank and live with imported skills. Not a bad thing. Furthermore, it is hoped that the management learned a lot from the 'Costa' debacle and ensure that future contracts are watertight. Good luck to them.

    I gave up taking a daily newspaper a few years ago no matter which one you had whether it was one of the red top tabloids or one of the huge broadsheets they all put a political spin on what they want you to read it's a shame that somebody didn't invent a newspaper that just told the truth trouble is if they did it probably wouldn't be Sensation enough to make wonderful sales

    On a topic such as CL, best to speak to people who are/were on senior management level and who will give it to you straight.
