Not to me it isn't and I have one in my hand. It will sell in volumes and at a profit margin which other vendors can only dream about. If you don't like it, that's fine, Apple won't care.

RE: Halewood the truth

This has got seriously off topic folks. Suggest you start a new thread.

Yes we went a bit off topic. Wink Sorry for that.

Going back to topic. Are there any recent picture from the factory and around it? Would be interesting to see...

However, they won't be able to if they don't have a job, obviously.

Let's hope they don't get over-confident and complaisant and end up exporting their own jobs overseas.

I've no doubt at all about the commitment there and a real sense of pride to make it work but after a promising start, they seem to be running into one problem after another and of course we do not forget the tragic fatal accident. Do a search and you'll see there was a huge turnout for the poor man's funeral. He was, evidently, an ardent Liverpool supporter.

IIRC the problem isn't LR employees, one of the problems is a sub-contractor's employees being in dispute with their employer, nothing to do with LR, they are suffering as a result though.
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.
