Sounds like there is still some bitterness there!

We all know that we'd be talking about Morgans if Black had had
his way!
Anyhow, probably something to do with Morgan employing a 'father
and son'
workforce and Triumph and BL having a bunch of workshy leftie
socialist
good-for-nothings forced on them by a labour government. You will
remember that TR7 production was held up at the Speke factory coz
the
lazy Scouse gits didn't like the colour of their
overalls/boiler-suits!
Almost the same reason Rootes and the Imp went belly-up. The
government
refused investment unless the factory/work was sent to
high-unemployment
areas, not areas that had pride and experience in car production,
i.e
Coventry. Also see Aurevoir Jensen, Bonjour delorean debacle!!!!
