      Why? Cos we don't need one. We just need "The City" and house prices to go up forever and there's no need to make or do anything.

          Yeah, we've moved from a manufacturing nation to a service providing one. Shame the commies in China, and the rest of Asia are slowly stealing the service industry through exploitation and slavery, but while we can still buy our goods cheap from abroad we'll pretend that's not happening.

          Anyone seen any reasonable predictions of what the UK will be like work wise in 10-20 years?

            I'm not saying that Tata would be a bad thing for the workers at all. I'm GLAD that these people have had the reassurance that their future is safe.

            All I'm saying is that the promise by Tata to retain British production etc isn't necessarily worth the paper it's printed on.
            It's Deja-vu all over again!

              Not seen predictions for 10-20 years but I guess there will come a time when roles will be reversed and British companies off-shoring parts of their business will find that the Indians are off-shoring back to the UK!

              Anyway I'm rapidly losing interest in work.

                They've already announced their new model.

                  If they're cheaper than the rip-off black cabs then it may not be a bad thing!

                    10 - 20 years? Look now at any UK airport on Monday morning. Loads of Brits on their way to where the work is. You don't see the corresponding thing in Frankfurt, Zurich, Brussels or Schipol.

                      They have never had any, I had Both Disco's and Freelanders from new and the build quality is appalling.

                      See you, you ****. I'll cut you first...
