Did I just read it wrong or did you just say the Army went on strike in South Africa? How can they do that?

I see what your saying about advertisers pulling out in certain publications etc though - it makes sense doesnt it, why advertise somewhere where your ad will not be seen? The job doesnt get done so its pointless and a waste of money would you not agree?

The problem with the ROYAL FAIL is that there are so many companies there just waiting for the opportunity to step in, its quite scary really - this could lose them so much work!

Where I work they have been looking at alternatives and getting some quotes this week so god only knows what larger companies are doing?

Also yes you are complete right about them hiring extra staff - where has the money come from for this? Its all shambles if you ask me!
