In my experience, if it isn’t made in either Dagenham or Japan it’s going to disappoint. When did you last.buy a UK Dagenham made Ford?

Over the years I have NEVER owned a British car that was trouble free. Except in snowy conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's cost a fortune in repairs over the last few years especially the so-called "engine management" system. No thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I avoid Japanese anything as much as I can on a point of principle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make a huge difference even in the mild but often wet winters here in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we do escape from the horrid EU there will be nothing stopping anyone from buying goods from the EU or travelling to the EU or even relocating to or taking up employment in the EU - provided that they meet entry requirements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely no question that we will escape, the only question is what Theresa May will give away in the process. She's been a total disaster in this, she should have invoked #50 the day that the referendum result became clear and gone for a Hard Exit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That unlike Germany Japan has been and continues to be unwilling to recognise the dreadful conduct during WW2 and before that in China. Unfortunately it's impossible for an individual to totally boycott anywhere but if I could boycott Japanese products then I certainly would on that basis alone.
