Anyone in Birmingham

[shaking]

watching Secret Millionaire. This man put thousands out of work and is now playing the good samaritan by giving his money away, has he no shame?

[cazzz1975]

Im not watching it, but I am from birmingham

[shaking]

He was a big noise at Rover and sold his workers down the river.

[cazzz1975]

how did he sell them down the river exactly?

[NoMercy]

Not watching it but I am with my ex right now and he lived in B'ham all his life. What is the name of this person?

[sara3]

Kevin Morley

[NoMercy]

I just asked Tony and he doesn't know him. Strange, because he knows practically everyone.

What has this guy done, then?

[shaking]

Thought everyone in Birmingham would know about Rover Cars going bankrupt and selling out to a Chinese firm.

[cazzz1975]

but they went bankrupt because people were not buying them shaking

[NoMercy]

Yep, Tony only lived down the road from Longbridge, in Kings Norton. But he just doesn't recognise the name.

[gonzo00]

and people wern't buying them...because they were sh*t.

Hi Cazz1975, been golfing lately?
I tried to help by buying a 75 estate, got rid though. Beautiful car.
However this Morely man made plenty out of the company.

[cazzz1975]

I am always golfing when I can shaking, how is your golf going?

whatever money morley may have gleaned at the collapse not to mention the compensation the rover workers received it still would not have kept the company afloat. they needed to price the cars realistically (they were over priced) to get more sales, their reputation for poor build quality put the nail in the coffin which kept people away in droves.

[shaking]

Still off 9 Cazz hoping this beautiful weather will help the handicap though. Understand what you say about Rover but I really enjoyed the 75 estate, far better finished inside than the Honda Accord 2.2 which I have now, must admit the Honda far out performs engine wise.

[cazzz1975]

well the air is better, once it gets warmer distances should improve too especially when the winter tee's are finished, do you play weekly matches?

[shaking]

No a medal once a month and a few friendly games in between, prefer the social side now and am not so competitive. Got my name on a few boards though so something to look back on.

[cazzz1975]

Im hoping to do well this year, Im still in competition mode :D

[shaking]

Hope you do well Cazz, but don't forget to enjoy the 'walk'
