Now remember we are not talking about highly paid individuals or even the self employed but people on relatively low wages were if you factor in the cost of taxi fares for a up to Midnight shift it no longer appears a viable option causing them to look elsewhere for work, or can you not wrap your head around that concept.

I can wrap my head around the concept. I also know about colleagues providing 24x7 call-centre cover on shifts, in the same building as I work. And that's not in a city, it's way out in the sticks. Is it VM or Liverpool that's different?

Put Indian Standard Time into your favourite search engine -that'll give you some idea. I can't help feeling you're "off-shoring" your concern for your fellow workers.
PS for the record, I think all customers should have access to UK call centres, not just those on VIP deals.
