Understood Ray , I see that James remembers the 86 recession but its hard to explain to others what it was like .
Many in Aberdeen took there house keys down to the local estate agent since they could no longer pay the mortgage and all the new toys all went and many left the industry .
Jack up Rigs were stacked off Gt Yarmouth and Barges and support vessels were all laid up .I think I got about 3 weeks work the whole year . But if you can hang on to 2016 it will be a good year because like 1987 it was impossible to find crew .
Getting a bit off topic but I have no idea why Fugro are looking for Trainees.
