Startling headlines I know, but localy, its only the mass of "disabled" drivers with "free" new cars that are keeping the local car dealers just afloat.

Shocking, but true!....

Oh well, i suppose i`ll just keep driving my ever so enviromentaly sound cars as is I expect,
I mean,
for every new car made, there using SO much energy just to make them, then its only johny forieners who get the jobs, as none are made locally,
then shipped half way round the world to get here.

While mine, are still going well, still sound, still running perfectly, one even can run on "environmetly green non fossil fuel, bio fuel)

so why change even IF i wanted to........lol

Nope, give me good solid ENGLISH made motors matey,
but just to show that I like german built motors, we got 3 of them,
then just only 1 of the best of Nippon motors too....

now how many pears in a partridge tree was that again.....lol

Who was it that said they wouldn't trust the government to run a whelk stall?

Am sorry to say very few of those in parliament show any signs of understanding strategy.

We let our technologies go for free all the while saying the worker has to do better.

It's been a management problem since the end of WW2.

Government has just not been up to it.

"Government has just not been up to it.
I`m not too sure about a whelk stall,
they`d get the wrong ones up for eating I think,

but a nice description of NON-usefullness is,

as good as a chocolate fireguard in the winter.
