Of the 250 refinery workers, many are onto their second and third jobs since redundancy, none of them looking for work.
Service providers don't even return calls, everyone is busy as hell, same story everywhere. Maybe building is bit different but not convinced.
Restaurants and bars are spilling over...
I pretty much have not seen real demand issues in my adult life, perhaps a few months in 2008 but bloody hell everything is PUMPING.
