I think it needs an explanation!
Just watching "How God made the English" on BBC2 and how there is a lot less german ancestry in the people of Britain than most people think.
I've never either liked or been impressed by German cars.
Or is it about History

Simples.
They arrogantly set out to conquer the world.
Their plans lie in ruins as they are betrayed on all sides.
After the discredited former bosses have gone, only a massive investment from a foreign land far away can get things moving again.
I really can't work that one out.

Isn't that exactly how the german VW beetle got into production after the war? (When VW was run by the British.)patpending wrote:After the discredited former bosses have gone, only a massive investment from a foreign land far away can get things moving again.

sorry, you have got my point - but I can't see how comparing Longbridge to post-war Wolfsburg helps TBH...

When I google for the phrase "British Girls were always Cuter Than German girls" (with quotes) I find lots of adverts for "The Luxurious MG Magnette"
