Lackadaisical management didn't help. Besides, we make lots of Hondas, Nissans and Toyotas here now ! Indeed Nissan's UK plant is one of their most efficient worldwide. SAIC have resumed production of MGs in the UK too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Automotive_Industry_Corporation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_F#TF A new MG3 model may also be made here. It will be the MG ZR's successor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_ZR And the Jags, Range Rovers, Land Rovers, Aston Martins, Rollers and Bentleys are still made here. Ford has had plants here so long that it's virtually considered British / European anyway. Our Fords are quite different to yours. This is probably the longest running Ford model over here ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Transit Followed by the Ford Escort (no relation to yours) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Escort_(Europe) The US is hardly one to talk about the auto industry btw.

In 1884, while visiting Adelaide, South Australia, Lord Rosebery described the changing British Empire, as some of its colonies became more independent, as a "Commonwealth of Nations" Plenty more countries are still interested in joining http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_nations#Applicants Rwanda (since 2003), Sudan, Algeria, Madagascar and Yemen have applied to join the Commonwealth, and there was some interest expressed by Israel (being formerly administered by the United Kingdom) and the Palestinian National Authority.[13] Other eligible applicants could come from any of the remaining inhabited British overseas territories, Crown dependencies, Australian external territories and Associated States of New Zealand if any become fully independent.[14] Many such jurisdictions are already directly represented within the Commonwealth, particularly through the Commonwealth Family.[15] See also: Commonwealth of Nations membership criteria: Prospective members A delegation led by the current President of Somaliland, Dahir Riyale Kahin, was invited to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Uganda in 2007. Presently, Somaliland's independence is not internationally recognised, but its history as a British protectorate would mean that it would be able to apply for re-entry into the Commonwealth, should it ever achieve international recognition.
