Its also worth mentioning that all the Citroen,Fiat Ducato,Peugeot Boxer vans on the UK roads are built in the same factory in Italy. Mercedes Benz Sprinter and vito vans are built in Germany so there are thousands of new vans sold in the UK every year that are made in Germany or Italy so don't discount the inpact of the loss of sales in the UK due to tit for tat tarrifs.

It may, however, mean that vans are being used longer by the owner, or purchased from the LeaseCo instead of being replaced at 3ish years.

Remember that parts are much more profitable than the vehicles themselves, so the manufacturer would probably be no worse off if we did keep stuff on the road longer.

As you will see Germany has a skills shortage of 40% and Britain 12% overnight I have wondered what this means.
As I understand it skills can be anything from Hairdressing to a Scientist.
So does it reflect education, the type of jobs available, is a 40% rate better or worse than 12%. Is freedom of movement a factor?
What a can of worms but interesting all the same.
The above posting is what it is, no hidden agenda.

Firstly the charts and wording are very clear: a skills shortage of 40% as in Germany is indeed far worse than a skills shortage of 12% as in the UK.

The scale of the problem varies from country to country, but is particularly bad in Japan, where 81% of firms (with 10 or more employees) have difficulty finding qualified employees

Secondly you are overestimating exactly what the World Economic Forum are using as definitions of skills.
A chart on the linked page you provide explains clearly:


So no worms and no cans involved.
Purely an attempt to show how employees globally lack even the basic skills necessary for effective employment.

I think actually that I may be better in 2020 (according to that) than 2015.

I wonder why you chose the UK as a base for your enterprises rather than elsewhere in the EU?
Or even your country of birth?
Also why despite the possibility at least of Brexit being known for some time prior to the referendum you now seem to want to rethink that choice (or some choices) before anything material has changed?

Serious question, btw.

Perhaps he was considering his "native tongue" rather than English in his "spelling" comment?
It may also explain "informations".

Lets not start on the influence of wealthy businessmen when the leave campaign was funded by millionaires with a vested interest in the outcome and had the benefit of tabloid media barons pouring almost unlimited publicity their way.

Dear God, you really have outdone yourself this time. Who do you think funded the remain campaign? Millionaires such as Lord Sainsbury with a vested interest in the outcome and the benefit of the BBC media barons, The Guardian etc. pouring unlimited publicity their way.

So, yes. Let's start on it.

cogito

And now, arch-remainer Vince Cable comes out against free movement.

Ergo, he is in favour of leaving the single market.

Already been discussed, won't discuss again.

There was a rough 'Brexit situation' plan in place before, however wouldn't be enacted until we had a basic idea of the government plan.

As we still have no idea of the plan, there are currently 3 Brexit plans, with the one most likely to be the case after TM speaks later this month being put into action.

If single market access doesn't look forthcoming, then arrangements are 80% in place to ensure a smooth exit by early 2019, which is coincidentally when the last leasing agreement ends.

Planned equipment disposals over this winter (16/17) will be in operation until at least the summer period ends this year, so a full 12 months in some cases (on a standard 3 year period.)

I owe you an apology. I read 'remainer' as something else. I have checked my original quote and your post, and it was indeed spelt correctly.

I'm a British citizen.

Nothing else is relevant.
