How to keep Britain great. Get pissed and buy tat with someone elses money. Well done.

MTB-Matt

I own the company!

I employ people!

I try to only buy British!

I support British companies over any other and I pay alot of tax which keeps certain other residents of Britain in houses, sky tv and flash cars on HP

So now I'm not allowed to get a little drunk occasionally. Is this china already?

you must be drunk now since you have no clue what your talking about, you should try going there rather than just repeating the crap that you've seen on tv and read in papers, this subject has no place in workshop & tech

MTB-Matt

Ok, 11 years In import and no clue. I got out as its had it's day!

Didn't realise Cube was British.

It isn't, but it's a great spec bike for little money (£487 for a cube ltd comp) on the ride to work scheme (european as well) However my orange crush with hope running gear is

Both northern too! Ha ha ha!!! Even better.

Well done, exactly the reason people buy imports, from China or elsewhere. So you are a true Brit until it hit's your pocket.

MTB-Matt

See my first post (yawn) I didn't buy it, however I did buy the orange crush and hope parts from my own pocket hence I support uk companies

too bad that orange entry and mid level bikes are built in taiwan, don't believe me,look it up on wiki, very british then aren't they

Bored now, but to sum up.
The op bought rip off mudguard, that needed upgrading immediately.
It's awesome to buy British, even if it's rip off rubbish.
The op didn't buy it, his company did.
He was drunk.
He owns the company.
He buys British unless imports are cheaper.
Unless he is drunk.
He didn't buy it. His company did.
He owns the company.
He buys British stuff made in Taiwan.
He reads the Daily Mail.

Bulk of the profit still goes to Orange in the UK though. Not that i care but still needs pointing out.

Thank you for giving my boss a reason to come over and bollock me because I 'shouldn't be laughing at my computer screen during work hours'...

MTB-Matt

And with that attitude the professional range will be too one day. How far do you want to miss the point by??

So did mine....oh wait no he didn't as he doesn't exist.

To sum up the company bought the cube on ride to work, £1000 limit

I buy British.

Forums are full of "experts" working for other people, wasting company time costing Britain money then moaning when they get made redundant. Welcome to the recession you manufactured. Its the only thing you have. Ha ha!!

milko9000

How does your company buying the Cube change anything at all about your tedious hypocritical "argument"?

EH_Rob

Ithink what he means is that :

The recession has everything to do with the internets and people wasting time at work, and nothing whatsoever to do with banking or complete twunts who jabber on about owning a company.

If we'd all have bought Orange 5's with £60 mudguards on (or at least our companies had on the cycle to work scheme) none of this would ever have happened.

MTB-Matt

Who do you blame when you trip over?

no you don't,you buy stuff made in taiwan, and other far east countries, thats then put together over here so they can claim its british and wack a big price tag on it, orange isn't as british as you think, you need to lay off the pop and research things before you go spouting off about people claiming to be experts on this and that, because you are clearly not.

I was wondering why this thread had got so long.
