Yes it was their track - Felt he completely missed the point in the show. i.e. it's ok to let China have our volume manufacturing so long as we keep the small very high value sectors. Although he did touch on the fact that our manufacturing sector is far too small to sustain us.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -

I thought the rest of the program was a bit rambling. He didn't really back up his assertions IMO. I bet the bogs and the coffee at McLaren are superb, though.+50 Xeno Geek Points

He missed the point all the way through as he was gushing about how great we were at making this high value stuff while only touching on the point that we don't make enoughRule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

The bit that made me do a massive was when Evan was saying that if we keep spending (i.e. a consumer society that relies heavily on imports) there's going to be trouble, but if we lock more of our money into our pensions we'll probably be alright. Hmmmm. It's consumer spending that has kept the country afloat for a while now.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

Loved the bit where the chap was brazing stuff together with oxyacetylene.
I didn't know that was used on a production basis any more.
Nice straight bit of brazing.
I think he made the point that his customers wouldn't want a Brompton if it wasn't made in the UK, I know UK built Nissans used to go for a premium in Japan.Science isn't about why, it's about why not.
