That particular piece of nitpicking was vexatious. A British industry can mean either a British-owned industry or an industry in the UK which overwhelmingly employs British citizens irrespective of who owns it. You are not interested in normal debate, Nigel, and contributors here are not bound to type nothing but legalese. You yourself are pretty easy to catch out, Nigel, as I've occasionally shown, but, quite frankly, the approach is infra dig for me. I have better things to do, but I do sometimes look out for mild entertainment here...

What part of 'British' do you not understand?
By your definition: A British industry can mean either a British-owned industry or an industry in the UK which overwhelmingly employs British citizens irrespective of who owns it.
Harland & Woolf is Norwegian owned
Its employees are predominantly from Northern Ireland (so not British)
So by your definition Harland & Woolf is not a British Industry.

No, but you don't have to continually type crap either.
