I agree Dyson are a prime example of R&D, designed in Britain but manufactured in Singapore so personally I no longer consider it a British product. But we have to accept making it is the part of the process that creates the most revenue and we are outsourcing it for greed and in turn becoming heavily reliant on countries like China whilst removing our abilities to manufacture our own goods, which was my point.

Not being pedantic but I did actually say "most UK companies" and that is the case Im afraid. Take a look around you, you would struggle to find one item that is entirely UK made. Even if it was produced in the UK the likely hood is the materials, machinery or parts used in the process come from abroad. The mark ups being charged are ridiculous, as a example I very rarely go into my local fishing tackle shop now and purchase end tackle. The products may well be designed in the UK but they are manufactured in China and then rebranded (some cant even be bothered to rebrand) and "carp tax" i

Nothing will change, most of the uk companies knocking out stuff just buy it from China rebadge it and put a massive mark up on it screwing us the consumer. Lets be honest even "British made" products probably use machinery manufactured else where or the materials produced in some far off land. I'm sat here in my office with a lap top made in China, parts manufactured in the Philippines, mobile made in China and desk designed in Sweden but yep you've guessed it made in China christ even the paper clips are made in China. Google every day products around you its a eye opener.

Moved from Bristol 3 years ago but still travel up for work cant stand the place or what its come, the best areas are the "slums" now still managed to keep a tiny bit of tradition and community.

Bit of a scrappy game we havent had a edge about us for years now so hopefully Manning has added that bit. Joe Williams MOM for me gave us that "in your face" play that was needed, dont think Benrahma staying on would have helped you. Watch us mess it up against Forest/Blackpool, its what we do.

Listening earlier to a podcast where the bloke being interviewed said by 2050 the UK will be a Islamic nation and we Brits aren't particularly pro-active and wait until things are at there worst before we act, so your last sentence is depressingly true.

They are all self funded now, that's why if you get a visit from the HSE they will always find a non compliance and issue a improvement letter charging for it. The EA just upgraded their permits adding extra "best available techniques" (BAT21). No problem you think, good they are on the case and getting to the route of pollution. You then get a bill for 3k pop through the post, you haven't asked for it and it probably wont make a jot of difference to the environment just another way to squeeze a bit more out of you.

I work in a industry where we have 4 regulatory bodies monitoring us VOSA, Environment Agency, the local water regulator and HSE, compliance is a nightmare. We had a HSE visit a few weeks back I've had to put signs up by the sinks telling the blokes how to wash their hands and provide them all with individual nail brushes, we got a improvement notice for that and were charged £700 for the privilege. Funny thing is when I pull the blokes on each job missed or each unnecessary diversion taken and now making sure they wash their hands properly Im the Shite Hawk, but at the end of the day its

You seen the new trucks mate ? Microwaves, kettles, HD TV's, climate control, all mod cons. We have trackers fitted and Im one of those shite hawks its all a bit of swings and roundabouts if the guys don't put in a shift (and there are strict rules, working time, drivers hours etc to stop them being overworked) then we lose the contract and in turn someone has to lose their job. We have some brilliant drivers and some that don't turn in, take avoidable detours, and sometimes simply refuse to do jobs and they are putting mine and the other drivers jobs in jeopardy, so Im comfortable trac

My Dad worked on the tugs from the age of 14 and loved it said there was never a day he didnt want to go to work, always envied that as Ive never found a job Ive enjoyed, just disliked more than others.

Why are we even entertaining these primatives??
TRUEBRIT66 replied to Jonjon79's topic in General Talk
Worked with a Iranian lad for a while when I was younger, he said he was a "moderate" Muslim and drank like a fish and was off his nut every weekend on coke. Always used to ask him if he missed living in a mud hut with his goats. He used to reply, "I keep telling you I lived with my parents in a brick house and have only ever seen a goat at the market". Apart from a white South African I worked with he was the most racist person I have met, hated Iraqis and Pakistanis with a vengeance and funny enough benefit scroungers! -
Like I said mate its a roundabout we cant get off, even I have had to employee Immigrants (all be it legal) for the company I work for as no UK citizen are even applying anymore and we pay a pretty decent wage. Morrisons are currently cutting their staff levels back, stopping overtime and bonuses that in turn has the knock on effect I mentioned earlier, Its the perfect storm.

My wife works for a higher end supermarket and has done for 26 yrs. They always did a annual assessment and your hourly rate was paid on your length of service, commitment and work rate, they also paid a annual bonus based on the profit the company made. The bonus hasn't been paid for years now and a new starter now comes in on exactly the same as someone who has worked there for 30yrs (minimum wage). The outcome is now the older members of staff are retiring early, nobody stays, the remaining work force are getting frustrated and doing the minimum. There are more and more foreigners bein

Always considered myself to be a bit of a Royalist but as time as gone on I have to agree their hypocrisy knows know bounds. Im starting to think they should just either slink away into the shadows or do something really radical and use some of their wealth/land and give it back to the people (Note: People not government).

I know it Christmas and a time for good will to all men and all that but I don't get it as the death is being reported as a suicide and complaints the Bibby Stockholm is like a prison. You travel across god knows how many continents because your life is in danger and one would presume live in a shit hole. You by pass a number of safe countries on the way to get to the UK where you are put up in a centrally heated refurbished room with all mod cons, gym, games room, instant access dental and medical care, 3 meals a day, £40+ a week, free phone, free travel to and from your accommodation in

Because most people in this country are a bit thick and choosing anything other than A or B throws them completely, in fact most dont even realise there are a C,D and E option and will just keep voting for the same old. I predict the next election will be one of the worst turn outs ever, Labour will get in and Starmers first statement will be how bad the country is in due to Tory rule and how its going to take 3 years of drastic change to turn it around and we will just go around and around again.
