    ****ing hell Jonesey. Really sorry to hear that mate. What is it you do? If there's anything I can do to help, I will. At least you've got some time before then to start looking.

    Hey cheers lads, I currently work for Airbus in Filton.

    My primary skills are in accountancy, but I haven't done a lot of that in the last 10 years - it's all been Excel/Visual Basic stuff

    It was bad enough last time I looked - I was only 49 then.

    10 years later - who's going to employ an old fart like me?

    ****, not an area I've had any experience in from a recruitment perspective. There are specialist recruitment companies around for most disciplines. Obviously get your CV on Monster, Total Jobs, Reed etc. If you're not on a site called LinkedIn, get on it pronto. Anthing else I can think of, I'll let you know by PM <ok>

    Not really, the wife has a better paid job than me and she won't want to leave the rest of the family behind.

    He'll be thinking of Airbus there. Probably don't do the same stuff you've been doing down there.

    I worked at Airbus in Broughton for years mate and what I will say is they are a good firm to have on your CV. When we got laid off the vast majority got work elsewhere pretty damn quick. Hope it's the same for you mate <ok>

    Cheers Billy <ok>

    I've visited Broughton several times this year, and on the whole, the atmos up there is a LOT more relaxed than it is at Filton.
