anonymous saidheard that Owens the haulier in Llanelli has got rid of quite a lot of drivers. I know of another further west who hasn't laid people off but telling drivers to stay at home. There are 100's of HGV drivers who are agency workers.....these won't be getting much if any work.

Then another different type of job loss you won't hear on the news is like the solicitor I know who was laid off.....I believe his company did a lot of conveyance
