Fat slob union bosses priced British workers out the market. .they didn't look to the horizon. ..they didn't see the take up of pauper basket case countries like our new enforced European brothers waiting in the wings rubbing their dirty little hands ready to pounce.
I disagree. Are there Renaults, Peugeot and Citroen cars on our roads? The french workers were paid more than our workers and had longer holidays so I really dont know what your talking about. The fact is the french and germans invest in their products whereas we rely on foreign investment that is the problem.
The Unions wanted top dollar for second rate work. .the cars coming out of Longbridge Oxford and Swindon were rubbish. ..the French and Germans cars were and still are quite the opposite. .. admire Graham's loyalty but, if we'd all done likewise we'd still be driving car's where the windscreens popped out driving over a kerb. ..my first father in law only bought British cars. ....the times I remember him in his garage with best part of the engine spread over the garage floor while mother in law was ranting and raving at him to get the car fixed now....the cars were an embarrassment.
Even the film industry made fun of the unions. ..do you remember the carry on film. ..the one about making toilets. ..those days are long gone, thank Goodness.
I have already said the french were paid more than our workers and had more holidays. We are back on the topic of privatisation. Does it really work?. Well thats why the french and germans are better than us because their governments look after them. They have both got up to date technology in their car plants something the government invested in.
