  „Union officials said they were "angry and disappointed" at the failure. GMB does believe that Kvaerner could have secured a deal with Newco, and Kvaerner had a moral obligation to the workers at Clydebank to do so Jim Moohan, GMB union A Kvaerner spokesman said: "Despite protracted negotiations with Newco since June of this year, it has not been possible for them to meet the terms of a potential agreement to acquire the Clydebank manufacturing facility. "Kvaerner's flexible approach, its willingness to agree to a number of time extensions, a commitment to making exhaustive efforts to secure a deal - and to preserve jobs - was also tangibly underwritten by the group. "This included a package of direct support from Kvaerner approaching £310m (approximately half of which was to be paid in cash).“

As for the Massimo, well, I made the mistake of ordering one...“

Professor Bryan Williams, of the Blood Pressure Association, said the study was small and inconclusive. He said: "Recommendations to reduce or cease coffee consumption in people with hypertension would not be appropriate as it would not make a major impact on blood pressure."
