Brexit again!

According to the CM website, Mercedes-Benz is now frantically stockpiling spare parts for trucks in the UK in anticipation of the Brexit balls-up.

Some time ago I spoke with someone at another German truck manufacturer, who said they were looking at the origin of all their components, and were finding alternative sources for those of British origin. He said there was a ‘surprisingly high’ British content in their trucks, but that was obviously going to change if there was a no-deal Brexit.

Could that be the reason for the ■■■/Schaeffler factory in Llanelli being closed?

Oh well, the people of Llanelli mostly voted for Brexit, so I expect they had other jobs lined up anyway.
