SKIPPY - does this affect Roger?

It's owned by an Indian company and they are asking the Government (i.e. us tax payers) to bale them out for £1bn? Which is nearly as much as they paid for it!!!!

Ford must be pleased with themselves for selling just in time?

But if the Banks are bailed out then why not others?

Pete,
No Roger's at Aston Martin now, although that don't look much better!!!

Good news, Skip. I knew he was doing work for Aston, but was not sure if he was contracting...

I believe he is working as a contractor ( basically employed by his wifes company

) as opposed to an agency, but he's based permanently at Aston.
