Sadly the payout isn't good enough to last until "retirement".

Being mostly hardware based Paul, it tends not to count as "IT"...

Been expecting things to come to a finish before now, so reasonably prepared... Guess I'll have to buy another suit though laugh2

Martin, didn't know you were changing the yellow beastie. Guess I'll have to wait to see the new one, now! smile

Fingers crossed for you Graham. I know that programmer/developers seem to be like rocking horse sh1t at the moment but I don't know about hardware engineers.
Hope they look after you well enough to not put you under too much pressure.
Best of luck

Shout if we can help you Graham.

There are enough lightweight paper skilled people around that we need to keep the deep skilled people in the game. PM if you want any ideas etc.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Sorry to here that Graham. Hope it all works out for you. As they say, when one door closes another one opens. It did for me.

Something similar happened to my MINI Clubman Cooper D - but fortunately I'd just dropped it off on a trade in for something else!

Bad luck indeed, for both of you. I suppose early retirement with a nice redundancy payout is not on the cards Graham.


At 64 this year, I have just been offered that Peter and will be finishing up at the end of March.

The package after 18 years at the same company was very nice, and as well I have 30 weeks leave owing to me which will also be paid out. I don't think their would be many roles out there that would interest me now on a full time basis and am looking forward to a little bit of me time for a while.

Sorry to hear about your Porsche Martin, and best wishes with your job search, Graham. If you fancy going contracting and have security clearance (ideally DV) then LA International may be worth a call, they might have something available?
