Missed the point Big Al - you were asked who brought the likes of Toyota and Nissan and a host of others to the UK.

Once they had agreed in principle to locating and setting up in the UK, where they located in the UK was immaterial - who gives a rats ass about which Councils scrambled over one another to land the fish AFTER IT HAD BEEN HOOKED AND PLAYED.

Answers still remain as before:

1. Margaret Thatcher, sure as F''K wasn't the beast of Bolsover or any of the other Liebour wankers

2. Economic and political stability

3. Trade Unions put in their place and reminded of their purpose - i.e. responsibility to their membership as opposed to dictating to elected Governments and holding the country to ransome.

Example of "responsible" Trade Unionism

Germany - 5 trades unions in the whole of the country
Japan - 3 trades unions in the whole of the country
UK - John Browns Shipyard - 38 trades unions all fighting and bickering with each other.
