New POD Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Swindon Advertiser: No deal Brexit a 'danger' to BMW Mini plant at Oxford, says firm boss.https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/17477222.no-deal-brexit-a-danger-to-bmw-mini-plant-at-oxford-says-firm-boss/ This is politics. Our moderation team may wish to delete this post. It shouldn't make me grin. It should make me sad.But what makes me grin is that everything I tried to tell people before they voted on Brexit, seems to be right. I know that I'm a remoaner, I know that I'd like the whole thing to be a bad dream, but being right always brings a smile. On the other hand, I propose a new law for when we leave the EU. Any product that uses imagery of the union flag will be banned on misrepresention grounds unless it is made in the UK I'm thinking of those stupid union flag rear lights. Unless the car is built in the UK it won't be allowed.

Aston Martin Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 My mum got a letter for her 107 tax. £20 a year which is normal.... Or £1.75 a month which is £21. I wonder how many people take them up on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's wierd, I got a reminder for the fortwo last month which offered me the choice of £30 paid straight away with a card or £30 on an annual DD - no monthly option.

cort1977 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 For me, going to college instead of taking any apprenticeship was the worst decision I ever made. The experience he would get in an actual garage, albeit doing completely ineffectual jobs to begin with, will be far more useful than tossing it off at a college for a few days a week. I would say that it's horses for courses but if you have a bit of paper to your name you will generally get a better rate. Do they still do day release apprenticeships? To me that seems like a good system where you get to apply what you learn at college so one reinforces the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that seems like a good system where you get to apply what you learn at college so one reinforces the other.You will get a bit of paper to your name with most large apprenticeship schemes. For example, EDF Energy's engineering apprenticeship provides the ability to study for a BTEC Level 3, diploma, and also attain an actual degree later on, to my understanding. This is also the apprenticeship that I am hoping to get. Waiting for that magic E-mail every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
