You get 5 games of Bingo for a quid in Brighton. I'm sure they have outings for you there Minerve.

Soubry protester James Goddard charged with harassment - ha ha ha. Give him some community service. Clean up some houses ready for refugees.

"It's Japanese gov policy to encourage manufacturing back to Japan"

I thought we had government policy to attract business here. Obviously it isn't as attractive as Japan's. LOL

In other words, 'the bribes aren't sufficient enough to swallow the plans of the chimps'.

Wouldn't you just love to get in a big card game with Minerva? No doubts he puts all his cards face up on the table.

"It's Japanese gov policy to encourage manufacturing back to Japan"

If only we had,

A)Manufacturing

B)Government which cared with a mid to long term plan.

Getting rid of the no deal negotiating angle is a bit like saying 'in the next few weeks, we are going to sell £3trillion worth of gold'. And no one would do that, would they.

It's Japanese gov policy to encourage manufacturing back to Japan, and now they have a trade deal, there is no need to manufacture in this country to access the €uro market. They are not re-locating to mainland €urope, they is going home.

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.

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.

[alphorn] 19/2/2019 13:14

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?

[grahamite2] 19/2/2019 13:07

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?
