Earlier this week, British Telecom announced a further 15,000 redundancies. To put that in context, imagine if Sir Alan Sugar addressed every man and woman in Newport Pagnell with his customary charm:
“Newport Pagnell…this task has been a bloody disaster from beginning to end. You’re fired”
And lest anyone is tempted to comment ‘no bad thing’, remember that Newport Pagnell is home to the Aston Martin - now that would be a disaster.
