Sorry to hear about that mate. Things are not too hot in Europe either. And the older you get the harder it is to find decent work. The other down-side is that you know as the last "in" you are probably going to be the first "out" when redundancies come around Sad

Luckily in Germany the government reacted fairly quickly to the depression and got up a system that instead of making people redundant, the companies can put them on short hours and 65% of the wages we lose are compensated by the social services. I have been on "short hours" for the whole of this year but luckily we have not had any redundancies. Still means a loss of about 200 Euros a month (about 400 NZD) with no bonuses etc. But I still have my job. Also luckily, none of our major customers have gone bust either, so we still have the customer base, just at reduced sales for now.

My old fella got made redundant late on in his working life and I know how bad things got for him, he ended up driving taxi's and doing cleaning jobs before he got a break and became an inspector in the national bus company. Still worked until he was 70 as they had accumulated a lot of debt in that time.

If you want to email me my addy is: mhurn37474@aol.com
