Someone just made a good point. We used to worry about being dependent on the the Middle East which owned around 60% the world's oil. Solution worry about being dependent on China which produces around 80% of the worlds batteries. Some people fat people never learn

I'd be more proud if we built cars which sold at 10,000 per week rather than those which may sell at 1 a week.I once worked for a short time on flight Sims. My project was al Nippon 767, the highest tech possible. I always wondered why it never made the news, Brits selling high tech stuff to the Japs, and us the world leaders. That was 20 years ago - now they've closed the flight sim division and make roller coaster Sims for fairgrounds. I'm not proud of that.We have the best car designers on the planet, working all over the world except in the UK.I suggested a couple of years ago that we should start a brand new car industry, making the best EVs, using a new high tech UK battery industry - it was all up for grabs. But no, we seem to be happy bolting bits together for Japan and France, but only if we bung them hundreds of mill to let us blot them together.No wonder we are sinking rapidly down the list of wealthy nations. Hopefully, China and India will return the favour of our foreign and start giving us some of theirs so we can afford food and heating.

Mate the story of Moke production is legendary. What happened is they got an order for one in France and drove it over with the only set of Moke imperial spanners & specialist tools in the boot which the frogs were supposed to trace and send back at just the same time the UK joined the common market. Anyway, recognising the opportunity the frogs kept the spanners by order of De Gaulle cos they thought the Moke would take over from the 2CV! Any way it didn't. Personally I think it's got somat to do with the fact the UK have announced we're going back to imperial....we will be able to get the spanners made again in this country! When the first smart new Moke rolls off the production line it will indeed be a proud day for GB.

There’s a chap Down Our Street has what I thought was a Moke, turns out it is a Citroen, they maybe pinched our idea.
The chap has a sign on the drivers side...Caution may contain nuts....

Just read the Moke thing. Summat dont add up to me.
They were engineered in Britain but then the bits were sent to France to be put together. Those that were sold in Britain were then brought back so to do. Seems to me like either there werent many sold in Britain or its a production system of the mad house (ie just pure madness or EU rule type madness)Hopefully the latter

Lloyds Banking Group aims to become the UK's largest private landlord hedging against inflation?by Property118.com News Team9:03 AM, 22nd September 2021, About 21 hours ago 3Text Size  Lloyds Banking Group has launched a new brand, Citra Living, through which to pursue its aim of becoming the UK's largest private landlord. The banking giant plans to purchase 50,000 properties over the coming decade. What can we tell from this?According to the team of financial and property experts at Fabrik Invest, Lloyds' designs on the private rented sector reveal plenty. MD, Dale Anderson, comments:"If banks are buying property, this indicates that they're hedging against potential inflation and the potential devaluation of the pound. With everything going on in the world, banks and governments naturally had to take into account quantitative easing, which means they're going to be printing more money to stimulate the economy. It looks like Lloyds is now putting a strategy into action to take advantage of the repercussions of that."The UK's record low borrowing rates also come into play, with banks jumping on the bandwagon and investing. Other corporate and larger clients are doing the same, meaning we're likely to see larger funds and family offices investing in bulk purchases in property over the months ahead.There are other factors at play as well and Anderson flags up cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin as an example:"Inflation and monetary value aren't what they used to be. Cryptocurrencies have given people more control over currencies, and banks less so, so that's a factor that's feeding into Lloyds' move as well. Then, of course, there's the traditional position of bricks and mortar being a safe haven in times of economic uncertainty."As inflation rises and the prices of things go up, individuals and enterprises alike will be looking to invest in bricks and mortar, along with other hard assets such as gold, silver and land. It's a pattern that has played out many times over recent decades.Then there's the housing market itself to consider. Demand continues to outstrip supply for homes in the UK. As a country, we haven't been building houses fast enough for years."That underlying lack of supply means the property sector is a safe bed for Lloyds. With uncertain economic times on the horizon, we're likely to see many larger institutions looking to the housing sector to provide solid medium- to long-term investment potential. It's an encouraging sign for individual investors, as it shows the validity of property investment as a money-making strategy."Comments Hide Comments??by Rosanne Turvey11:17 AM, 22nd September 2021, About 19 hours agoThis sounds absolutely great but let's hope all these apartments don't end up like our investment. We purchased an apartment in the heart of Cardiff Bay in 2007. It was an absolutely fabulous apartment. We were told it was going to double in value. Unfortunately what they didn't take into account was the fact that the Company who built the apartments cut a lot of corners when building them and we are now left with an apartment that we can't sell as it is not mortgageable. The build quality is absolutely appalling - they did not put any fire compartmentation in. The balconies are becoming dangerous and a lot of other problems too numerous to mention. Our Management fees have gone up considerably (as have a lot of other apartment blocks) and we are now faced with a bill of £30,000 per apartment to get everything fixed. Hope all these apartments that Lloyds are investing in don't end up the same!.... Property118.com

Rayner actually looks & behaves like a pikey bird. Wouldn't be suprised if she's trousering her accommodation allowance and has a van and a couple of ponies on college Green.
