Now you’re just being stupid. How is brexit going to bring this lost manufacturing back?

Triumph? Alvis? Armstrong Siddley? Singer? Humber? Just to name a few from Coventry. That’s before you even even get into all the companies that used to be in Coventry supporting these companies pressing panels, making wheels etc. How much is left of companies like Courtaulds and GPT? We still...

Just in time for my children to retire. Yippee.

You’re more than welcome to join in. Just don’t make out I’ve said things I haven’t, don’t ignore the things I have said in the manor you did yesterday by telling me I haven’t said something and if you’re going to join in at least try and make the effort to keep up with how the conversation...

Really? I have to explain that to someone with links to Coventry? Holy shit. A free trade agreement with the biggest trading block in the world which has allowed us to develop our service industry which has replaced our lost manufacturing industry as the backbone of our economy.

I didn’t ask you. You waded into a question I asked someone else. No wonder you’re lost. Why don’t you sit this one out like I originally suggested when you waded in.

It was a global crash and we were prone to a big hit in part because of first Maggie then Blair relaxing laws that essentially was the equivalent of giving the kids the keys to the sweet shop. It was another failure of domestic policy. If we’d never have joined the EU and deregulised as much as...

You don’t know what I’m talking about full stop. You confirmed that the second you asked what’s my point to a link I posted. If you had to ask you didn’t understand which is why I kindly advised you to sit this one out. Grendull does, that’s why he won’t enter into a meaningful conversation...

Shows how clueless you are. We don’t have the heavy industry we used to. Coventry probably being the best example of that in the UK. We aren’t an industrial powerhouse anymore and that doesn’t look likely to change anytime soon brexit or no brexit. We can’t compete with Industry from places like...

You keep linking that article like it has some relevance to what is being discussed. You should have took my earlier advice and sat this one out. Knowing you you probably didn’t read that advice and missed it.

Ha ha ha. Cheers. I needed that.

No. One or two pages will be enough. You were party to the conversation anyway so either you’ve forgotten what was being discussed or more likely you didn’t read and digest or have chosen to ignore. I had to tell you something three times the other day and you were still saying I didn’t say it...

Germany is a nett exporter which is why a weak currency is a nett benefit to them. We on the other hand are nett importers which is why a weak currency isn’t a nett benefit to us. You need a few things explaining to you several times yourself.

So basically you’re saying that there was no good but you’re bitching about me pointing out the negative? By the way. If you had have read the post you originally replied to there was a positive in it but you missed it in your rush to pretend I only ever talk about the negative.

Just look back to the OP and read it for a change. Jesus, it’s easier to get my kids to read than you.

How to eat well - and save the planet Interesting article about the environmental impact of eating meat. Specifically about your water footprint. The environmental impact of being a meat eater was what swung it for me in becoming a vegetarian. Although strictly speaking I’m a pescatarian as I...

I thought you thought we were talking about JLR.

No it wasn’t. It was about the impact of currency fluctuation and the effects of it. I’ve already brought my own personal experience into it through my own work and given you the benefit of my friends experience in buying copper products. I guess the conversation is getting difficult so you’re...

Out of order. Have no time for this sort of behaviour.

Sounds like Grendull is making a case for joining the Euro again.
