I disagree with the mention of nuclear in that list, the industry is very strong, especially with the likelihood of more power stations being built.

Anyway, I agree with rest and it's still a bloody long list.

Maybe, but 90% of our work is for the nuclear industry and its all but dried up, they've actually put a block on all new projects. The Americans and French run the show now, and when are they gonna build new power stations? a year or two off at least. Given up on this year now ,just hoping some major work is released in the new year

The postal service has become so crap it needs a big shake up. What happens when they try - the bloody staff strike cause they know they have it better now.

First class post used to arrive by 8am the next day. Now it's lunch if you are lucky and when lived in London the first post could be as late as 6pm. I was getting home from work before the morning mail was even delivered now that's a crap service.

First class post used to be next day delivery now you are lucky if it is two days. They have brought out recorded delivery as they lose the majority of stuff you have to pay extra so they will look after it. If you want guardnteed next day delivery you have to get 'special delivery' which is four quid dearer and is delivered in the time frame the first class post should be anyway.

The whole service is a joke and it needs the shake up. Any staff that strike should be fired and new staff brought in that actually want to do the job. Solvesthe service and the unemployment levels all in one go. This country is far too lazy. Everyone wants more wages but can't be assed working to get it

I have been a medic in the army for 8 years now and bringing back national service has been much debated lately. However in this day and age it wouldn't work and in fact I would vote against it.

The youth of today aren't fit and take drugs. I know this isn't everybody and o am making a general statement but on the whole I am right. Also the idiots that have asbo and think it's a qualification can really do without training how to use automatic weapons properly!

Bringing them into the forces would just make the army less effective therefore putting the lives of the people that want to be there under greater risk. I would rather be in the desert with someone who had signed on the line themselves than had been forced into it. Dump them in the army is just passing the buck and getting us to do what the government should have done long ago - give the little shits a kicking

What do you mean by 'The Americans and French run the show now'?
I graduated in Engineering this year and have just got a job at Sellafield, along with 50 other graduates this year. 11,000 people employed on a civil nuclear site... dried up? The new power stations are a few years off, but its certainly an industry with a decent future.
