Well that"s the end of the local hand wash for my car then. Brits will not get out of bed for that sort of work. IMO manufacturing is the only solid saleable commodity worldwide and we have shrunk ours to a level of invisibility so how do we survive going forward into the brave new world? not by white van manning each others services. Financials are moving in droves to Paris & Frankfurt. BB

I have a deactivated German drilling if he was interested. Martin

Spent a long time working in Germany then I went over to live there when the grandkids came along near Munich in 2002. BB

All the participents in WWII are dead or almost dead but strangely only the modern German citizen is being pilloried for being nazi. And of course we won the war alone etc brexit bla bla. Please get over it and let"s all move on into that glowing independent post March future. Martin

Jan 2015 she called her father to say she was in ISIL-held territory, she said: "I'm in Islamic State and I'm not coming back."

Armed trespass then? BB

Very true but there goes the SGC on the trip back home. Ahh!!!

Worked on that project too, them that know at Audi says it will take them 10 years to duplicate the quality of the old Q5 from Ingolstadt. Build a new factory 70 kms from the city of Puebla in the middle of nowhere, due to the Mex government spreading work opportunities around the country = bumkins building suv"s. BB

I use a German 20 bottle beer crate light & stiff.

Qashqai is just for the school run? Female drivers seem to prefer being higher = feeling safer which the auto companies are well aware of.

Once spent some time with a supplier inside the Solihull plant. I walked the defender line as I was a fan of them. Was very shocked by the *******/blinding of the workers against the managers, they were throwing them together (vehicles) with not much care zero pride and I have 50 years in the business so do know what I am about. No wonder they are moving the new one away to Slovakia. Solihull was like the 1971 Chrysler Ryton plant before Peugeot took it on. Oh BTW Skoda"s are in Mlada Bolasav except the VW up variant that comes from VW Bratislava"s assembly line. BB

Hi, Did the .270"s go? I have it on my FAC and am happy to cover postage. Regards Martin

I have a Redfield spotting scope that I bought in 1980 in Michigan USA for $110 it is 15-45x & works very well and never has been dropped/damaged in my ownership, as I no longer do any range shooting I could let it go as its a shame to leave it on the shelf. Adjusted inflation value of $110 today is $353 making my cost £277 how does that sound? Martin

We went on a works visit to Triplex glass in 1968 from college and their foreman put a hawker hunter windscreen on two planks on the floor and told us to try to break it, well after 15x 18 year olds did a police motorcycle team lookalike show there was a loud crack!!!!!

I would take the dies if £20 posted.
