Message from ARC to our customers in the E.U.

I went on a tour of Axminster Tools and they make a few nice products in Axminster on their Japanese CNC machines! No idea where the Stainless Steel comes from though?!

Today, as the options for movement from UK into EU and other countries around the world continue to get restricted, it feels a lot line a scene from the Holly Grail :

Hi Michael,

It is relevant.. The Post Master has a booking system which will probably be stopping him from booking anything to EU destinations - be it trough Royal Mail or Parcelforce for heavier items.

I would probably be wise to ignore this thread... but I can't help pointing out that capital projects like HS2 don't get counted on the national 'profit and loss' account as they are putting an 'asset' onto the balance sheet.

This is why governments (of any colour) like to borrow and invest in huge construction schemes when they need to create lots of jobs and encopurage economic activity as it doesn't count against borrowing targets.

Interesting point Neil. It is also why the water companies like to build more reservoirs (more capital assets on the books, more value in the company, more bonus) rather thatn use money to mentd leaking pipes. (more water passed, more 'production', buisness 'expanded', more bonus).

Its just like 1940

but no navy or empire this time round

erm the last reservoir built in this country was a socialist abomination finished in 1981

so many bitten tongues I can almost feel the pain in every post.

The main issue for most people seems to be our arrangements with China rather than the EU. I think we are going to have to see how that settles down over the year or two it takes to deal with Covid.

Exporters are up the proverbial creek until we have stable export arrangements and that needs both politics and pandemic to settle down.

So maybe this is the time to invest in restoration equipment, a good sharpener maybe?

Erm,

If Kielder Water is the socialist abomination in mind, the guilty man was Sir Edward Heath. I admit he was a bit wet!

Colliford Lake (1983) and Roadford Lake(1989) were both completed by Mrs Thatcher. I don't recall her being particularly left-wing either!

Duck pond Nature reserves built after privatisation don't count
