Sadly there is no advantage in spending money in R&D, the chinese just buy what you have spent millions developing and reverse engineer it.

I can see everything but wine?

Will a British red be as good value as the 4 quid Chilean stuff?

I've tried a few expensive French reds recently but I just don't see what the fuss is about? My palate prefers a robust Latin style, French wines are too thin IMO.

Many people dont grasp the reality of buying only British.

It actually hurts the economy and country. Ironically, you're hurting the UK.

Say goodbye to white goods, see petrol skyrocket in price, etc. The price in everday cheap products manufactured in the east skyrocket and more firms based in the UK go insolvant.

Then of course, we lose all money of import taxations ...

Have you seen the size of the Mini Countryman? I believe the new Range rover is smaller than it.

We have one, a cooperS all4 .

Nothing mini about it.

There you go sunshine

Almost 2m Minis have been built since 2001 at Oxford, which accounts for roughly 17pc of Britain’s annual automotive production, and the £500m will be spent on improving production facilities for the new version of the car.

Rekitting a car body plant with metal presses for new models can easily swallow that kind of money.

Not much to see here really.

They need to make something a bit bigger. A new Maxi perhaps?

No more German cars for me either. If they aren't at least assembled here, I'm not buying.

I'm on a one-man crusade to buy British whenever I can. I figure it might help the economy in some small way that I'm buying mostly British produced food and drink. I've even started buying English wine.

I would love to join you, but those pesky Germans are better at making stuff.

True, especially cars, but my minds made up, please don't confuse me with the facts.
