I sorry to hear that.. it's scary cos sometimes we don't even know what we done wrong to get warning.
It's always good to be reminded of these things from time to time. I've just started getting e mails from Gordon Brown. I'd love to know what they're about, but have so far resisted the temptation to open the attachment. Needless to say I don't think they will be offering me a job in his new cabinet!
