Erm, that is probably because consecutive governments have sold off all our industries abroad.
Those they couldn't sell they closed down!
Recieved from one of my suppliers:-
''One of the British national daily newspapers is asking readers "what it means to be British". Some of the emails are hilarious
but this is one from a chap in Switzerland:
"Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish
kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything
foreign!"
Meanwhile, from the good ol' U. S. of A., Chris Rock's "Quote of the Year":
"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese,
the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U. S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful
men in America are named Bush, Dick, and Colon. Need I say more?"
it's a crazy World!''
How true!

They've sold off steel, coal and power. If we ever get isolated again we're f*cked. We'll be at the mercy of the market, it's already happening with gas prices.
