Begging the forgiveness of listmum I would say that your point, Mark, is valid but not thought through to a conclusion. UK jobs produce people paying tax & NI plus keeping wealth here in the UK which feed through into better healthcare, schools, etc. Imported goods just export wealth. That is the unexpected dividend of the digital revolution in which we all work. lets take this offlist if anyone wants to reply direct to me Regards Steve =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
