serious it is... but what to do is up to us
I would like to believe it is up to us...but can't. The great Museum of London diaspora in the early nineties should be remembered. I have no statistics, only observations, but there were large 'adjustments'. Some got out of archaeology, others moved around. There were pockets of development around the country for a few years before the building industry recession rippled out from London. Lots of MoL went out to Italy I believe. Thankfully, there was a lot of road building, pipelines and quarrying still going on in the Midlands at the time. However, I fear that present aggregate quarrying might also suffer as the construction projects fizzle out.
And yes, as I have posted on other threads...we are feeling a distinct downturn and laying off experienced staff.
