Enjoy your Civic reception Al, see you on the other side.
I've got a bottle of Bunnahaibihn on the way from the big lad or a load of shite from looking at the Amazon order list.

So are we all happy that we're now in hock to Trump for a trade deal, just as he's looking for allies in a potential war against Iran, to help his re-election campaign?
Best option we had, I suppose.

I see Vauxhall Astra production is now starting to bleed away from the UK. Estate model going first.
I'm sure those affected will consider this to have been the least worst option to pursue.

As soon as GM sold out, Ellesmere port was doomed, brexit or no brexit. Its been hanging on on by the skin of its teeth for years. |

Yes, sorry, I was forgetting that nothing bad ever has anything to do with brexit.
Four legs good, two legs bad.

When Nissan moves out, and Airbus shuts down wing production in the UK, then you might have a point. Don't over egg the pudding in the meantime, it destroys credibility. |

While Z is right that Ellesmere Port has been a creaking gate for years EU membership was one of the bonuses that kept it going. Didn't it get 'saved' with somewhere else closed instead sometime last decade. Will be grim for Wirral if when it goes. Much more so if Airbus wind down Broughton.
Given my kids are now settled in Liverpool/Flintshire the Broughton area is on my radar for next move.

I agree with Z that Ellesmere Port factory was doomed after the sale to PSA. It is not directly linked to Brexit. Similarly Honda shutting down Swindon is not Brexit related because it was going to happen anyway. As soon as EU/Japan had a trade deal then why build cars in the EU when you can ship them from Japan? They are a relatively low scale manufacturer in the UK. Funny we should me mentioning the Wirral and the impact... I've been looking at property on the Wirral recently... Should I be concerned.... ?  |
