Jacko is still at the Council. He thought he was going to be laid off on christmas eve but got an extended contract, which is great news for him. Mike is still working for Whitey's dad in the chicken incubator shop down Annie Reed road. And Zoe is working at Chem Dry.
I see loads of people are thinking the same as you about moving away, it's the only option, there's nowt round here. Just don't do a Pete and go live in France. Was talking to Milly and Kaye the other week and they said he was bored ****less.
Good luck mate.
