I think there is a shortage of ground staff and we/they can't afford to lose anymore. Your office job may have been important and I have no doubt some of BW's are, but I also believe some jobs are of status value only. I do know that when I worked for the Health Service my job was completely unnecessary and a waste of money. Sue nb Nackered Navvy
