Cheer up Cmon, it's not all doom and gloom you know. The UK is the sixth largest manufacturing nation in the world, ahead of France. The USA is first followed by China, Japan, Germany and Italy then us. It is therefore vital that we keep ahead of the pack, our motorsport, aerospace And even automobiles are world class.. One of the biggest problems we have had over the years was a lack of investment and modernisation, of course the more you automate the more people you can make redundant. Sad but true. Looking at the British motor industry today we have giants bringing money into the UK, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Land Rover BMW, Volkswagen even the Chinese are here in strength with the reintroduction of the MG. We are world class in what we produce, but let us remember that for some goods we can never ever compete on price, clothing for example.
