    Loss Of More Than A Thousand Jobs Forecast For Steel Industry

    Tata Steel confirms it will axe 1,050 jobs at its plants across the UK. Approximately three-quarters [or 750] of them are at the Company's LARGEST premises in Port Talbot ... with the remainder - including support staff - currently employed at various mills across the country.

    Steel prices collapsed last October. Caparo went into administration back then and 2 weeks later it's boss fell from his pent house flat in central London
    He was number 3 on the British rich list last year if memory serves me correctly.

    For those affected, they'll just have to show their mettle and solder on. As for the rest, I suppose it's a case of winner takes ore.

    I was in sunderland as a kid when the shipyards closed and then the pit,wrecks the area.



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Well we can buy cheap steel from the Chinese, then once they have driven all the competition here and in other countries out of business, they can put their prices up! Yet another Tory grand plan putting another nail in the coffin of british manufacturing (Actually not sure what's left).
