Brilliant.
I understand it was originally 1hr 20min long, but they editied out the
tea break. Of course the problem is the British continued building cars
the same way which is why there is almost no indigenous British industry
today.
I wonder if they had a company song like Austin:
THE AUSTIN UNITY SONG
Unity of purpose is our watchword day by day,
In all we do and say,
Marching on our way,
Holding it before us as through life we go along,
Hear the happy throng,
Sing the Austin song.
Refrain - We stand united, with Austin as our aim,
Our path is lighted with progress for the flame,
No shirkers, all workers,
All playing the game for goodwill and fame;
Shoulder to shoulder, secure against a fall,
Bolder and bolder, we'll try to conquer all,
We'll fight for, do right for the good of our name,
We stand united with Austin as our aim.
Loyal co-operation is the test of brotherhood,
Working as men should,
For the common good,
Each for all, our motto, as the race of life we run,
Striving all as one,
Through the years to come.
Refrain - We stand united, with Austin as our aim,
Our path is lighted with progress for the flame,
No shirkers, all workers,
All playing the game for goodwill and fame;
Shoulder to shoulder, secure against a fall,
Bolder and bolder, we'll try to conquer all,
We'll fight for, do right for the good of our name,
We stand united with Austin as our aim.

Fascinating! Thanks, John. (If I were the foreman I'd get some new
trestles
made up, those look as though they're on their last legs!) Elf &
safety?

Maybe you guys have seen this already, but I found it a real treat.
Hold your breath when you get to the spray booth!
