Is your cut and paste broken?

BBC News - UK manufacturing sector contracts in July i told you no money in economy jobs go:( we are now reaching the roundabout of recession:(

Oh......how sad, you have managed to fix your cut and paste facility.
I suppose now we will be 'treated' to more sensationalist headlines.
Have you nothing better to do?

Have you seen what is happening in the US .
Their manufacturing industry is goosed .......but I guess that is the fault of those damn tories too.
Did you also see that they tried to spend their way out of recession......that worked (NOT).

They are going to be having to find trillions in cuts to avoid some nasty financial consequences....consequences that would affect the world economy.

Hows this grab yeh? i honestly think "Women" are to blame fer the mess the countrys in, Not the tories,Not labour, when thatcher first stood fer election 2 members of me family/extended family, who had voted labour all their lives, voted Tory, the excuse they had was a woman must do better! i also know quite a lot more did the same,:eek: before they croaked both of em told me they had been wrong n it was biggest regret, but it was too late the mentality of the nation had been changed forever, before anyone gets the hump, this aint a pop at women its just the way i see the facts.

Will you stop saying that Thatcher word. Brings me out in Hives makes me shudder feel sick. oooh need a bucket. :enough:

see link Largest Sock Production Town in China

who allowed this to happen and why .....seems to me "free trade" politicians are guilty of nothing more than economic treason , sorry its none of my business if the Chinese don't have jobs , what is my business is if my family, friends and neighbours don't have jobs . If the Chinese want to make and sell socks they should be forced (import tariffs) to match local production prices otherwise they can sell them to the Africans and Indians.

Seems Graham Jones is to be commended for his anti free trade stance with his recent campaign against Google and support for equal oppertunities for local IT companies its to be hoped this campaign applies to other worldwide products and isn't just a bit of anti Americanism :rolleyes:

well this story is interesting, wonder if the tories allow this. everybody who recieves any kind of benefit will have their personal details compromised when their data is sent overseas by the free global trade BBC News - Hewlett Packard might 'offshore' DWP jobs in Sheffield

As part of my duties I used to buy English made socks for a firm I worked for.

Retail prices ranged from £12.95 - £35.00 per pair, over ten years ago.

Suprisingly I don't think Pantheralla socks have a stockists in Hyndburn.

:rolleyes:

Incidentally, as beautiful as they were, I didn't wear them myself, other than the odd free sample.

Both the cotton lisle, and wool sock, could only be worn once or twice, before developing holes.

I bought cotton-rich socks from Primark.

Comfortable, lasted for ages, and at five pairs for a quid I didn't give a stuff where in the world they were made.

"I bought cotton-rich socks from Primark."
