I'm not too clued up with Glasgow council but I believe it's very over-staffed as well as having hundreds of jobs for the boys.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps they'll tinker with housing stock in some way or sell land.<BR/><BR/>This gives them the perfect excuse to raise the money by any means.

Unlikely.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://idlepenpusher.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Idle Pen Pusher</A>Idle Pen Pusherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08319222131717187999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-85485923126551829832009-03-09T09:37:00.000+00:002009-03-09T09:37:00.000+00:00Gosh Spook I didn't know that.
