That way you have solved your money (although maybe slightly less) and solved your ethical dilema by giving them months of notice.

I have a good relationship with a couple of temp agencies in my area (I have worked for them before) but there is always the chance that they wouldn't find me anything for a while. Every day not working would be a day not earning. Also the money would most likely be quite a lot less than what I'm earning now. So temping really would not be a good move at this stage.

If he worded it as "He told me that he was going to quit soon anyway so I sacked him before he jumped" then yes, I could sue him to death, even here in Britain. He could make me redundant though , citing the fact that there are too many people in my department.

I'm not sure what you're asking, but if you're asking if I actually touch the food then no, I don't. I leave that to the peasants.
I spoke to my boss today, and he said that he can hold off til the middle or possibly the end of May. So I told him not to make any decision before consulting me first and that we should talk about it at the end of this month, So I guess I now have a deadline to make up my mind about what to say.
Another thing, we have a new Factory Manager (my boss's boss) who I haven't met yet. So if I tell my boss what my plans are he might tell the Factory Manager. I don't know what he'd have to say about the whole thing. I will have to talk to him at some point before the end of the month to try to see what he's like.
