I blame the CAP for the butter shortage in France. Oh well, it won't spread.
It's probably caused by all those former olive oil consuming southern Europeans having to move north to get a job and assimilating themselves into the northern butter eating lifestyle.Another company expands their workforce and moves offices.

Spotify have clearly got things wrong, as have Google, Snap and Facebook.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-16...

No doubt this success story will be ignored by many on here!

There has been some chat about James Dyson - I think on this thread but there are so many Brexit threads I lose track
Is it true that he said this in 2000?
"It's suicidal for the UK not to join the euro. Why should we go on exporting at a loss? We're facing unfair competition,'
One never knows what's truth or fiction these days!

Worthwhile thread in either direction, but a key point from the middle

This exposes the myth of "saving lots of money by leaving the EU". Much of the money we paid was to centralise essential tasks, like the medicines regime, with huge efficiency and time savings. Not dealing with multiple authorities also reduces costs for pharma cos, ergo prices.

I'm fairly certain that if you put your quote into Google you'll get the answer you're looking for, but then you already know that.Is it true that he said this in 2000?

It's interesting because Nissan had similar concerns to Dyson in 2000, yet still committed to Sunderland.
Here we are 17 yrs later and just like in 2000 Nissan have once again committed to Sunderland despite the vote to leave in 2016.
Dyson are still here (Research/development - Wiltshire) and were recently recruiting, and are going from strength to strength.
Your point was?

It was a question, rather than a point.Follow up questions could be why, when his Factory was in the EU, was he so keen on the Euro?
And, why, now he manufacturers his stuff outside of the EU, has he changed his mind?
Does he now support Brexit because we aren't in the Euro?
Or has he just changed his mind?

That was crystal clear by Googling the very quote from an article you had already read.
It's clear Google is your friend, try posing your other questions there.
A slight clue.........17 years is a long time, Dyson has either changed his mind since 2000, or perhaps like many individuals and companies are now/were doing in 2016/17 - jockeying and lobbying Govt for a deal that suits their own agendas, Dyson was doing the same in 2000.

Look through his posts,usually starts off with a dumb question to try and drag people in.

Generally, asking a question is considered quite a good way of striking up a conversation. Look through his posts,usually starts off with a dumb question to try and drag people in.
It's a shame that it was answered in such a passive aggressive manner. Someone could have just said 'yes it's true and it shows that Dyson isn't an anti-eu zealots' and maybe we could have had a few posts with a decent discussion about how things change with time and circumstance.
And 'drag people in' - what a fking idiot you are.

Nice bit of anger at the end there...
