The two workers that BBC News interviewed this morning as they were leaving the Cowley plant were definately not British. They sounded Polish to me.

If the mini was still a small, cheap, affordable car for the working masses then they'll still be selling them.
Now they're noncy "designer" accessories only owned by bankers and hairdressers no-one wants them.
What do they cost now? 14 grand? crazy! you can buy a VW people carrier for £12K

Quite right! I was looking at a Peugeot 107 last week - very mini-like in appearance and much cheaper - only 7grand, with Group 1 insurance and £35 a year tax.
