Well this is good news regarding more jobs in the P.I I suppose and at least the jocks aint losing more call center jobs to India..Its inevitable that these types of jobs are doomed in the UK and no one should be surprised..

My son worked in a call center (Manila)for 6 months supporting Dell PC`s in the US..
The yanks were always pleasantly surprised to hear his Brit accent as they sometimes seemed to struggle speaking to Filipino`s..
His supervisor was never that happy with him as he flat refused to speak with the required "American accent"..
The fact that he had a 100% customer satisfaction rating had nothing to do it of course.

Yeah he can always earn a bit here if he wants but he`s on to bigger and better things these days...He`s at Sheffield Uni doing Chem engineering.
