Imagine working somewhere for 5 years, then getting sacked with 1 hour's notice. No redundancy pay, nothing.

that weren't ready for the eventual and well warned "credit crunch" .
A lot of places were paying too much for customers parts exchanges
and were therfor left with a lot of overpriced tat that was going to lose
money when it went off to the auction.
Still busy where i am, sold 3 today myself, so its still ticking over nicely.
most of the stock we have is £2-3k BELOW the current market value.
Just dont expect the market value for your px :roll: , we do get pretty
close sometimes though
I'm here if anyone wants me
Gc

Whats the story there? who got sacked?
I heard some union bloke droning-on about how it's disgusting that BMW are not selling any cars???? on the radio today. This bloke thinks they should still keep producing cars flat out to keep the boys in jobs. Has this bloke forgotten why we don't have a motor industry any more? Blindly churning out stuff no one wants, gobby unionists mouthing off and calling the shots to a commie workforce and and a product that has been allowed to get a little long in the tooth. Sound familiar? feck me it's like 78 all over again.
Sorry to sound harsh but what do they expect? do they think BMW will throw itself down the toilet just like BL did? If these guys want a future and jobs to go back to when things settle down, they'd show a little support to the company that has kept motor manufacturing going (especially when it's frankly much easier and cheaper to build elsewhere) and see that thats what BMW have to do to weather the storm then thats what they have to do. Its called forsight. If it wasn't for our union pal on the radio and his red predecesors we might still have a bloody motor industry of our own!
Another nail in the UKs coffin I guess. Pass the hammer.
