    Thanks H and Zen. This is confusing as we only have the Church of Ísland, which follows Martin Luther, and some Catholics and a few others. We have Jewish and Mohammedan people and counted together there are a few hundred of them.

    I would think a £4m operating loss would have been anticpated, Take comfort from the fact things still seem to be moving in the right direction, However I would like to hear more from some of our Financial experts on here as I am only a mechanic!!

    Thats clearly not the case as you have chosen a market where there is constant demand, no obvious seasonality, and very little (compared to other industries) competition.

    :) well, that's true i guess! Though the market is falling, purely because of outside costs. People are putting off learning to drive because running a car has become so expensive, they don't see the point.

    Driving instructors will be needed until computer systems and Big brother take over control of cars and use health and safety as the excuse!
    Aircraft can fly missions remotely or automatically once programmed , so it might happen in the next 20 yrs or so!

    That may be true, but the entire European market is falling. As Norway says, there will always be demand until computers take over, which i cannot see happening as atm its not viable. But give yourself some credit, you do have smarts.

    Hornette you're right with gadol/big. I was trying to emphasise the transition from childhood to adulthood rite of passage aspect; and it didn't work very well.

    Dan there are already fully automated transport systems in the world! although most run on rails! however , consider the fact that rails can conduct electricity , consider the shift away from fossil fuels to electric cars etc , Consider rails put in roads granted at the moment it wouldnt be cost effective to put rails in lots of roads! However there will come a time when it does become cost effective change of infrastructure!

    The other way is converted cars that run on computer controlled via various sensors , The technology is already there ,as soon as it becomes cost effective you will see it in your lifetime I am sure!
