Sydney Harbour Bridge

[OwL]

Very well said! Very true about the banks/Casino's.  ::)My thoughts are that Britain should be like the German economy, strong financially and still producing well manufactured goods that fill the export markets.

Anyhow, i had better get back on the thread topic (Sydney Harbour Bridge) before the thread turns into politics or the like which is against the NGF Code of Conduct and a nightmare to moderate (coming from an ex-mod in know how quick threads like these spiral out of control!!)

Kind Regards

And just to satisfy those who care, the buffers in the coupling units on those trains assembled in China were made just north of Coventry in the UK   



There are still some of us making things in Britain that the rest of the world will pay for

A Great example of British made goods being at the front (of the train in the case of these couplings)
