I managed to stay awake until 3am to catch it - it was a good programme
but i couldnt stop myself from thinking it was like that Sheffield promo
film at the beginning of "The Full Monty" - ! incredibly dated! watching
the assembly line was more like seeing a car show or a club meet - they
were put together exactly the same way as they are now, a bunch of blokes
with a few tools and a fag hanging out of the corner of their mouths!
The part about the "O" series engine was particularly interesting - i had
read about this but hadnt realised what a difference this would have made
to the cars sales in the U.S. - remind me, what cars DID get it?
Final comment -What bozos Stokes and the rest of the management were at
that time- id forgotten how incredibly inept they were
mike robson
who went to sheffield university and therefore REALLY gets a laugh out of
the full monty!
