VAT on Pies?

[d9f1c7]

Now that the left have nailed their entire political argument to Pie gate, do you think that every party from now on should have a section in their manifesto on the handling of finance for pies and pasties?

LOL@ Gromit.

You could blame management if they were allowed to manage, in union dominated Britain they were not. Red Robbo and his mates completely destroyed the car industry.

As one comedian said, "You always knew where you were with Thatcher...I just didn't like being there without a paddle!"

oh lordy, not the old "Red Robbo destroyed the car industry" nonsense again.

One of the great UK car successes was the Mini.

Oops! It was also one of the great catastrophes. Why? Because they sold each vehicle at a £35 loss. Bigger sales, bigger losses.

Now, can somebody explain to me how Red Robbo set the sale prices of cars? Or could it possibly have been management?

Yes jno, I'm afraid it is that old chestnut again Red Robbo single handed managed to destroy the British car industry ( lol). Have you noticed that if you did not like Thatcher or her policies then you must be some sort of ultra left wing Trotskyite.
