    UK car exports or imports, no I'm confused....

    Can someone from the hoping mad Brexit brigade tell me why we have ze Germans car export market over a barrel when UK manufactured car exports to the EU are so numerous?

    "MPs ask car executives for a breakdown of where the UK's cars are sold.

    Mike Hawes of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders says:

    UK car makers export just under 80% of the cars they produce
    56% of that goes to the rest of the EU
    The EU is 4x bigger than the US, which is the next biggest market for exports
    For EU car makers, 7% of their exports come to the UK
    The UK is the EU's second largest market for new cars"

          While I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment, it's not polite to call other posters 'it'.

                Things have never been better! Two holidays a year, a Porsche on the drive. Beer in the fridge, bloody hell when I was kid, things where bad. When my Dad was a kid things where really bad.

                Don't fall into a spiral of negativity.

                  But enough about Brillo's exes. What are you going to do when you can barely scrape together enough coupons for a chlorinated chicken drumstick?

                    They should have asked that prior to the referendum.
