    On the news last night it said that the tyre plant was closing because of a lack of demand for the 16in tyres it produces - as new cars these days seem to be getting ever bigger wheels
    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!

      Well they DO say that imitation is the highest form of flattery.

        Why was it not upgraded to make bigger more premium products?

        Thats how a lot of places will be closed after Brexit - it will take 7-10 years of stopped investment, so that MORONS who voted for Brexit will never make a connection

          The EU to a minor degree provides a defence against globalisation. These jobs have been lost because of globalisation. Once we are out, we are exposed to the full blast of these forces. However Brexiteers don't care because they are inclined - to a greater or lesser degree - to believe 'free' trade is an unalloyed good thing. I believe the reverse although I accept it's a matter of opinion. It has been good at times in the past but that doesn't mean it's good at this point. Brexiteers will however not believe Brexit made things worse. There will always be someone else to attach the blame to.
