Just clocked over 100,000...the amount of times Minnie has told the world he founded a company that went public. Trouble is, he never gives out the name of such company.

Neil Woodford founded a company called 'Give me your money' and Minnie did, that's why he's potless now!!

C Pete, Marr was trying to be a Neil and made a fool of himself. I liked Boris' point when he said 'perhaps those listening would like to hear my answers as much as your questions' ...Boris actually had a sympathethic, pitiful wry smile for poor old Marr...Marr lost his credibility today, he was over zealous in his attempt to belittle Boris - viewers aren't stupid!

And you (bb) tell me to, "Engage brain before gob please"...hmmm.

[poikka] 01/12/2019 19:05

BB - take your point, and trust me that had not escaped me prior to typing, but it's just too easy to shift within the EU, and frequently assisted, to the cheapest location; therefore we now have major road traffic issues and emission issues while stuff like yoghurt gets shifted from one country to another to get packaged and then get sent back to the original country to get sold.

And all the while, countries like the UK fund the shifting of businesses to countries like Poland, while sending multi-billion ££ of assistance. Madness? Most, if not all, macro economic experiments are, and the EU is one of the maddest.

They say most collections are to appease an inferiority complex ..

[sentimentrules] 01/12/2019 18:26

Cheshire..Boris is as bad though. Most interviews and question times he just goes on and on even when asked to stop.

Minerve did you profit from its listing? Hope you caught all the gerbils by selling to them high looool

"I thought Boris was excellent, Marr was irritating and too impatient."

Agree jordaggy. Marr was a disgrace. There is a difference between being well researched and persistent, and his constant rude interruptions and talking over to the point where Boris was almost unable to speak. I've seen it before where interviewers have tried to prevent him speaking and all it has done is make the audience sympathise with Boris.

Yes Minnie I have a couple of Morris 1000 travellers, a 1961 & a 1963, they stand in my 6,000 sq ft climate controlled garage alongside half a dozen V8's including a 65 Mustang, 3 x Ferrari's, 2 E Types, 2 x Mk 2 Jaguars a Mk V1 Jaguar, well let us just say a valuable collection of classic cars well above your station.

By the way, your Woodford losses would probably have bought you a couple of E Types, Maisto of course!!

Now go away and have a little drive in your rented little Merc.

ROFLMAO

"Wife bought some Thorntons chocs today - made in Poland, and I thought it was a British company. The wonder of the EU project."

No no No!! That is the FACT of unregulated capitalism. Manufactured goods will always gravitate to the lowest cost-base available. Be it Engineering to India and the Far East from the 60's onwards; Software Development to India, Call Centres to anywhere cheap that has English (or a close approximation) etc etc. America's current Massive Drug prices and shortages are not only driven by a rip-off Insurance driven Health system - so many of its Drugs are "MADE IN CHINA". Still sold and labeled by Big Pharma but their drug Manufacturing base is mainly overseas and in price domination these days.
The only element Trump has got half right is to start to return these once homegrown assets back into American control. Engage brain before gob please.

[sentimentrules] 01/12/2019 17:09

I suspect he stole them.

[minerve 2] 01/12/2019 16:51

"that you run two Morris Travellers"

I would suspect he actually lives in them.

LOL

The auto industry, particularly in Germany, is damaged by the on-going spat between the US and China - and the economic slowdown in China. Tariff introductions have 'forced' manufacturers to build more in the US and China limiting EU exports. The same issue is going to occur between the EU and the UK and considering we are RHD then I would expect increased prices and reduced choices going forward. Our country is one of the worst for pushing the green agenda without thought on infrastructure and human cost. To criticise the EU is simply laughable when we have just had the likes of Bristol city council blanket banning commuters of diesel into the city centre when most of public transport there is probably run on the same liquid!

Thorntons was founded in Sheffield.

Cadburys was bought by a US company and mostly manufactures in Poland.

[alphorn] 01/12/2019 16:40

Jacko - you make me smile. You start a V8 discussion and then admit that you run two Morris Travellers!
Teasing, they are quite classic - but not much in the noise stakes! Lol

[alphorn] 01/12/2019 16:38

Poika - Thorntons, like many UK companies was sold off some years ago; it is owned by Italian company Ferrero.

But don't worry, blame the EU for everything. Not long before many posters will run dry in the blame game.

[poikka] 01/12/2019 16:32

Wife bought some Thorntons chocs today - made in Poland, and I thought it was a British company. The wonder of the EU project.

Never mind, I don't give the Euro much longer in this world: car manufacturers cutting back jobs so that they can pump out more electric cars at lower prices, which are probably still too high for most, and no point in buying 2nd-hand EVs, all so that Brussels can achieve their emissions reduction target by 2021.

European job losses on top of a global slowdown and a ECB running out of options...well, work it out. The last option is fiscal measures, and how many EU countries can afford to do that - ok, Germany, but you know what Germans are like when it comes to spending.

Meanwhile, Germany's politics are getting a tad muddled, and Paddy's going much the same way, and Italy and Spain and Poland, and don't mention Malta - who?

Whadya reckon? Two years tops? Still hanging onto my Pesetas, lol.
