Were this lot voting then?

Staff in Savannah, Georgia, were in celebratory mood.

 

I always thought for the Yanks to do any deal it had to to be a part owned Yank company, brilliant news

 

JCB have production facilities in the US. Assembly will be at Savannah, Georgia. With engines made at JCB Derby and axles made in Wrexham

 

Wait a cotton picking moment,

President Trump approves this message. (By tweet).

 

Wrong colour?

 

JCB's owners and management were big and very vocal supporters of Brexit, always available to be interviewed against the CBI, Branson and all the other remainer rent seekers. They really made a difference in terms of providing sensible real world counterpoints to 'Project Fear' (TM HMG Treasury) and were particularly effective in public meetings in the Midlands / North of England - London area people not really understanding what manufacturing is

 

they make a lot of bits in China as well
I gather they are not well thought of in Germany after the way they shut down Vibromax

 

Nice of you to put a positive spin on a Great British company. Have you ever thought of a career in PR ? .
JCB has 18 factories in the UK, Germany, North and South America (Brasil), Australia, India, and China.
They have very successfully exploited the military market.

 

A British company that sacked thousands of workers ?
Sorry Personal experience of the company and its Owner might just make me a trifle biased

 

Its called business. Would you employ three lads to assist you on a job when one would suffice.

 

other issues I wont go into here sorry
i could happily belt Bamford in the mush, but I would be in a long queue
