What is 1400 jobs safely lost against the prospect of 30 jobs perhaps? Says "the German friend". And yes, sold my Siemens shares about a year ago, invested the money in a certain company in Hungerford/UK instead.
A journalist friend rang UK govt press office. They say Santander loan is a done deal. A default would be picked up by govt (eg taxpayer). "They export loads of products," he was told. No idea what they call loads, but you can bet these loads are but a fraction of what Andover Norton exports. Then again, neither does Andover Norton get a loan under this scheme, nor does it want one.
