Dont be so precious. Much as i like the idea of IE staff doing gardening work (I love my garden) i dont see that as their primary role. I never once said that people should be sacked or got rid of, i said re-deployed. I love having the banter with the lads in the station as much as anyone, but if their job is outdated and they can do something else - something else which needs to be done in order to safeguard the future of the company - then I cant see what your problem is.
