    I feel like one of those hollow tree trunks you see lying in the forest with fungus being the only resident.
    I fail to see how the government had anything to do with BMW and Cadbury's. Why the f**k does the government have to be involved with anything involving jobs?

    Reminds of the twit I say on TV last year who said "I expect the government to find me a job"(sic). Okay so lay about and one day the phone rings and its David.."guess what, I've just created a job for you!"

    Sheesh!

    Mind you..I am against the public trading of banks and how easy they can be bought and sold by other banks. There was a time when banks were nice guys...

    This post is so moronic on so many levels it had me spilling my tea, chortling.
    Clearly the other commodity we're giving to Fritz is our cretins
    My ribs hurt now.

    Chirk and Marlbrook are both sheds in cow fields. 200 people is hardly a large cull for a company of that size.
