Firstly let me add my voice of sympathy to those who will loose their jobs.

Exactly, I wouldn't of liked that job to be honest but it's people livings. My flames and disgust were aimed at the management and anyone who thinks different should ask before they judge me.

What amazes me is the continual reinvention of the wheel with many companies, who will relocate, rationalise, amalgamate, or whatever strategy, to show a nominal saving on a balance sheet in three or four years time, despite the affect on morale

Hands up those who think it will be the last time they do this
Does anyone think the management that made the decision are interested in anything other than the balance sheet, they don't want any discussion/dirty laundry talked about in public because it's bad news for them. It seems that long gone are the days when companies released a press statement striaght away about these sort of situations, they probably hope that it will not get into the press and receive comments about it affecting the allready poor service by ntl as a company.
I wouldn't like to count the number of times that a region such as Wales has been re-organised, re-structured, bundled in with this that and the other region. There has allways been a two year life cycle to ntl plans involving structures and regions.

Many companies realise that one of their prime assets is in fact their staff. It is their staff who provide a key resource, and the interface that enables customers to do business, and thus the company to earn money. For companies like ntl, who's physical assets lie in it's infrastructure, the accountants can only see staff as a cost, in the outgoing of wages, rather than income of fees.

Exactly and the accountants can see exactly what the daily tasks are for these peopel affected, they are treating a lot of other "back room" departments the same. No one will shout about these people going because their jobs are not usually visible to the accountants and general public/customer.
ntl has hemmoraged (spelling) too many good technical people over the last four years, it can't continue and is the reason for many big network issues taking so long to resolve.
The guys on networks will tell you this is true, along with poor management at a regional level.
Technicians/Engineers in the field will leave when the market picks up, hang on...I better be wrong, or i will be accused of giving out company confidential information.
