I actually think we will see a renaissance of British engineering & manufacturing as talent gravitates away from the city.
Perhaps it's my assumption of intelligence that is to blame.
On reflection yes I think that is the case as the "renaissance of British engineering & manufacturing as talent gravitates away from the city" remark shows.
Class. That had me spluttering over my keyboard.
