The company that I work for is part of a very large group and at work last night they had a complete list of every business in the group ,one stood out, their logo was a pouring ladle, soooooo when I got home I looked them up http://www.nibf.com.au/index.htm Problem is that they are 900 mile's north of here and that a bit far for a weekend drive. I'll be seeing if we have any contacts here where i work , then I'll see if I can get say ingots and other stuff through them, we have trucks going up that way all the time so freight should be free, I hope

That looks like a cool place to work, well maybe not cool but at least interesting. Didn't you say you were with Braken? They have closed a lot of the casting foundries here in the states.

Hmmm, one of you fellows down there worked for Braken...???

Your company is very diversified.

Your company is very diversified.

Yes very diversified and I should be able to get a staff discount at each one and I'm a very small fish in a very large pond

I'm not even a fish, I'm just an egg.
Discounts are great if you can use them. I get a discount from a tool place but their tools are way to expensive to start with. And, I get a discount at a hotel chain that never seems to be anywhere I want to go, plus they don't have hottub rooms so me and the wife can soak our tired old bones.
