I once was called into my Chief Supers office and given a seriously tricky job to do. He told me in no uncertain terms that negative attitude and can't do attitude would not be accepted. The job got done. It does worry me that we have so many negative people in the country. Mrs Thatcher was bombarded with negative attitudes towards sorting the Argy problem but she stuck her neck out and our boys got the job done although all the so called experts said it couldn't be done and we should go belly up to the invaders. I sense that attitude from many remainer types, even some I class as friends AND are still friends. We just beg to differ. and whilst doing that the experts in France were selling excoset missiles to the Agys................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nissan came to Britain to make cars so that they would have a gateway into Europe. The trouble was European sales were always disappointing. Despite being arguably better cars than many of the French and Italian makes the Europeans were resistant to buying Nissans. They preferred the makes they have grown accustom to. Its not, and never has been a free market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats worldwide, and a huge part of that is the highly successful Dacia brand, which sells in vast quantities to countries like Turkey and Africa. Not sure what youre trying to say, but I dont believe 10 million cars a year from all those brands worldwide is that impressive, even though they are 10 % up on 2017-18. Its the UK consumer market thats important, as it COULD work out cheaper to build them here rather than face POSSIBLE tariffs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To guarantee blue - it seems that you may have to wait until late 2020 or even early 2021. Mine ran out a while ago, but not replaced it yet as I have no need.

das Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Tweet seen yesterday regarding a 55 minute delay at Schipol passport control. The tweeter seemed to blame Brexit and this was apparently jumped upon by thousands of remoaners with the usual cack 'You wanted Brexit, now youv'e got it', 'Told you what would happen', 'You made the wrong choice' etc. It transpired that the airport authorities were have a training day session for new passport check in staff and they apologised for the delay. I took exactly the same time at Geneva last year when Brexit wasn't what it is today. Doesen't take them long to get excited and hopeful what?

That'll be the SAME Magaret Thatcher who knew the cost of everything yet the value of nothing? The SAME Margaret Thatcher who's own 1981 Defence Review decision to axe HMS Endurance gave the inference to the Argentinians that the UK was no longer much interested in the integrity of the Falkands and South Georgia? This Margaret Thatcher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_Defence_White_Paper Royal Navy[edit] This review proposed extensive cuts to the Royal Navy, including the sale of the new aircraft carrier Invincible to Australia. Under the review, the Royal Navy was focused primarily on anti-submarine warfare under the auspices of NATO. Any out-of-area amphibious operations were considered unlikely. The entire Royal Marine amphibious force was in jeopardy of being disbanded and the sale of Intrepid and Fearless was mooted.[2] Although an additional Type 22 frigate was confirmed ordered, Nott stated that nine of the navy's 59 escorts would be decommissioned, mainly from the County, Leander, and Rothesay classes. This decision was attributed to the growing cost of refitting and maintaining older warships. Alongside the proposed hull cuts, Nott revealed that the navy would incur a manpower reduction of between 8,000 and 10,000 people.[1] Nott announced an order for five nuclear-powered attack submarines, increasing the total to 17. The Royal Navy's building programme of 20 warships was to be unaffected by the cuts, as would the navy's acquisition of the Trident submarine-launched ballistic missile.[1] The ice patrol ship Endurance was also due to be withdrawn from the South Atlantic. This was interpreted as a sign of weakness by the Argentine Government, encouraging the invasion of the Falkland Islands. Chatham Dockyard was also to be closed as an operational base. Feasibility studies for the Type 43 and Type 44 destroyers were also cancelled, together with the Sea Dart MkII surface-to-air missile Edited February 15, 2020 by enfieldspares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
