    What chains will be gone by the end of 2012

    ... good free place to advertise vacancies?

    I have used the Job Centre before to advertise a job. That was the only time I did it, as the calibre if the people they wee calling to try and get me to interview was, shall we say, less than suitable for the position - even though I had given specific instructions to them. Have you tried...

    Take them a brew when they are 'protesting', and maybe a buttie at lunchtime... They will soon get bored... Sounds like you are more than fair company, let them do what they want to do... The truth will win through... Pete
