Good news for them but it looks like it may be the end for the Vauxhall factory on Merseyside - which would be very sad.

I see there is a hairdresser position vacant at the local shops.

So therefore Aus is better than the UK.

Afraid not, a good friends daughter just got a job in the UK so therefore the UK is without a doubt betterer.

Coal prices at a $300 a ton price in 2008. That is its record high.

Asia's quarry did not suffer a recession.
The papers all had jobs in them, loads and loads.
Unemployment stayed non-existant.

One expensive place WOW, does not mean much, see how many stores opened in its place.
