My company is suffering from slumping sales due to high cost of product and high labor rates. Should I close 2 factories, laying off 1500 and open a 'Maquiladora" in mexico? I could save 25,000 per worker per year. This would allow me to lower my costs substantially. Oh yeah my father founded this business and would abhor the thought of a lay off and a move to mexico. The main firm would stay here of course. Should I sell out to cheap foreign labor against my dead fathers wishes?

Do you think that those annoying copper coins should be withdrawn from circulation? I cannot think of any purpose for them anymore apart from the stupid retail trade policy of the 99p price tag £9-99? why not just say £10? surely the public are not that stupid as what the retailers think they are. You cannot buy anything as far as i am aware for !p or 2p now or even 5p so dont you think its time they were put into retirement? Also most transactions are now done by debit card so surely it will be to everyones advantage to have nice round figures to work with instead of all those odds and sods.

Is there a matrix to show how each benefit is linked to each other (e.g. incapacity benefits, jobseekers allowance etc)? For some people, if you qualify for one benefit you may not claim another, but it is difficult to assess how they relate to each other because there are so many! I've tried looking on the Department of Work and Pensions website but it doesn't really explain how each benefit affect each other.
