    That’s the low-Tax, low-regulation country that the Tories are aiming for. Wealth for the few.

    I forgot though, you don’t care about anyone but yourself, right?

      They suffer from utterly deplorable reliability.

      Maybe if they spent less time munching sausages with the management they would build better cars.

        Really? My last BMW did 270,000km in 7 years and only went into the garage once for repairs and that was for a Lambda sensor. My current BMW has now done 120,000km in 5 years and has also been into the garage only once for repairs and that was only because a stone went through a cooling grid. Maybe they just ship the Monday and Friday cars to the UK to give grumpy Brits something to moan about, probably why the Australians call British people 'whinging poms'
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          So will the City of London relocate up north to help out the Mackem's?

            "My Granny smoked 40 a day" level cretinism.

              Chin up. That's the spirit!

                11 days until we take the BMW in and get the Tesla.

                I can sense this is going to be a total fook up already.
