Some speculation today that Toyota's operation in Burnaston, Derby may be at risk. It appears to be of roughly similar size to Swindon, in terms of output and employees.

Google has a few interesting results, such as this excerpt last year:

"The firm relies heavily on a ‘just in time’ production method, using components imported from elsewhere in the EU. The plant’s boss, Marvin Cooke, told the BBC that a failure to reach an agreement over Britain’s withdrawal from the EU could have a major impact.".

These Japanese plants appear to be set up and operating on a very similar basis. Time will tell, but, on the face of it, it doesn't look too good.

There's a lot of truth in that LADESIDE but it takes two to tango. If it is EU policy always to leave things to the 11th hour there's not a lot HMG can do about it unilaterally.

Tomorrow the day. Not read any leaks about provisions in the Sunday press. Focus on the results or forecasts?

Jacko - a flick of a card - you have not learnt much in your old age.

"Eh, wot! Sterling down from 1.45 to 1.28 doesn't make 30% to me, nor down from 1.48 over 4 years"

I'm sorry, there was me thinking that Sterling was trading in the 1.13 - 1.15 range NOT 1.28, unless of course you were talking about dollars for some bizarre reason ???

Even good results will be sold into imo.

grahamite - very true, there are more fools in the HOC than you could shake a stick at. Just sit and wait which is also what the market seems to be doing.

Turning to Lloyds the market seems to be doing the same thing - although I would expect results to be good. Are they already in the price?

PC, naturally Brussels will leave any compromise to the last minute. Why would they hurry, when there's a chance traitors and fools in the House of Commons might make compromise unnecessary?

I can confirm fatknackers is telling the truth.

Will Lloyds continues to downplay Brexit with its full year results on Wednesday?

Interestingly, unlike peer RBS, which during the third quarter earnings season revealed it had set aside £100 million for Brexit uncertainty, Lloyds was far more optimistic about the whole situation. Retiring CFO George Culmer said the bank’s ‘continued expectation is for some kind sort of withdrawal agreement going forward’, also stating that 97% of the firm’s business is UK-focused.

Given how things have panned out since that update, investors can perhaps expect a fuller comment on Brexit on Wednesday. Lloyds hasn’t completely sat on its hands, however; in January it secured a banking license for its Berlin subsidiary.

Perhaps I should go for a game of golf and pretend everything is OK. Ask those in Sunderland and Swindon to join me.

The words of one of life's winners, I mean big Looosers. Boo hoo, the World is ending.

Get a grip Minerve, what are you a man or mouse!!

ROFLMAO.

I think many wrote similar here or at least thought this was likely to be the way it played out - it will simply have to be a case of holding one's resolve:"BRUSSELS will compromise on Brexit – but it might not be not until the last minute, a former EU commission boss warned today.Jose Manuel Barosso said that there was "still room for some negotiation" from both sides to get a deal sealed."

I would never join the "HATED EU"


Iceland’s fisheries minister Gunnar Bragi Sveinsson has said that

he would “never join the European Union”




However, under the rules of their membership (and because they are not full

members of the European Union) they still control their own territorial waters and

the fishing which takes place there. This is not to say that EU vessels cannot

access the waters of these countries but it is done under a licensing system which

Norway and Iceland unltimately having final say about what happens in their own

territorial waters. Indeed, Iceland and Norway are the only two European nations

which have plentiful fish stocks, and both countries have cited losing control of

their fisheries as a key reason for not pursuing full membership of the European

Union. Indeed, Iceland’s fisheries minister Gunnar Bragi Sveinsson has said that

he would “never join the European Union” saying that “we have one of the biggest

and one of the strongest fisheries in the world that is sustainable without any

subsidies from the state. We don’t have to share this decision-making with anyone

else. It would be difficult for Icelanders to control their economic and fisheries

sector having the obligation to discuss it with 27 or 28 other countries.”

That's your failing fatnacker. You are retired. Brexit doesn't affect you that much. A selfish, ignorant and insular view. Comments like that just show what a prat you are.
