Well congratulations to firms A & B on their successful landing of the contracts in this period of financial difficulty. I'm sure that the dole queues of Nottinghamshire will be chock a block with out of work archaeologists, more than enough to meet the requirements of their clients who, on such a large project, will expect the work to be carried out in a responsible and professional manner. I'm sure that everyone who will be employed by the firms will be "locals".
Yeah, and pigs fly as well. Who are we trying to kid here? I know there's a recession on but ?295 per week from which you'll have to pay for your own accomodation as well as your normal home expenses! This is a cynical exploitation of the current economic situation and I feel pity for all the desperate people out there who will feel that they have no choice but to apply for jobs on these contracts.
