[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 341358, member: 360"]That article reminds me of a joke about Britain in the 1950s. Still under heavy, postwar rationing, a lady goes into a Singer shop in London and says: "I'd like a new Singer, please!" The shopkeeper wrings his hands, sighs, and says: "So would I, ma'am, so would I!" The Kilbowie plant in Scotland was FLATTENED in a raid in...1941, I believe. And it was ages before Singer in the UK could start manufacturing machines again.[/QUOTE]
