(maybe moneyexra? where you can bump into the some of the old directors of ms.com). nothing much to add, ok – they are sortof fair with pay, safety etc.

It just so happens that mortgage 200o is part of the 'Moneysupermarket.com financial Group Limited' so the redudancies look as though they're all Moneysupermarket.com related; which isn't the case. I've not heard about the numbers rising to 200 though....

I know that alot of the aggreators are currently looking at better ways of managing their providers and hence some fall out from this is also likely.
