Thanks for all the good wishes. It is something I should have probably done some time ago but that was before the company pension got well and truly screwed.

Besides which 1. I feel less and less appreciated where I am, 2. the company is now far removed from the one that Bill Souter and Jim Jaffrey set up in 1951 and 3. my new employer has been asking to join his company for some considerable time. At my age, I am vain enough to take that as a compliment.

Thanks again

Best wishes H - never easy to change - but good to get something new in your worklife to keep the (very) old brain cells active.

I must say it's very sad (and all too common) that loyalty is seen as a reason to take for granted. I saw it many times. How much will it cost to get a new Highlander, with 40 years experience and contacts? They probably won't and will settle for someone with less to offer and pay him more.

Their loss John - and from a company who didn't appreciate you to a company who have long admired you. Should be great times ahead.

Does this mean you wont be able able to post so often on this site during the day H or does your new contract allow for it?  Just joking and good luck on your new adventure.

Hope you've had a good day John. Having a new job you'll be able to recycle all your old jokes. Try that one about the word "gullible"!
