Hi Peter. We seem to have lost the ability (or the will ) to manufacture anything. The apparent successful businesses are in 'service' and 'leisure'. Also the...
Hi Gordon. Vauxhall is owned by General Motors (American). They are made in Britain, but the European counterpart is the Opel. Colin (alias Billogs), now...
