    By 1912, all cars were being painted midnight bluewith black fenders. It was only in 1914 that the "any color so long as it is black" policy was finally implemented. It is often stated that Ford suggested the use of black from 1914 to 1926 due to the cheap cost and durability of black paint.

    Haha nice but you're cherry picking a bit...

    "in the first years of production from 1908 to 1913, the Model T was not available in black but rather only gray, green, blue, and red. Green was available for the touring cars, town cars, coupes, and Landaulets."

    I should have been specific on the dates

    He almost definitely wasn't sacked then.

    Brenda was actually sacked for leaving the office at 16:59, remember? We don't need accountants anyway, Ehab can do it himself; it's just a bit of adding up after all. Sound business principles. There's barely anyone left for Deacon or anyone else to put their hands in the knickers of.

    Of course it's just a coincidence that so many people leave our club under these circumstances. It can't be down to the owners, it's that they're all coincidentally dodgy as **** (and that's not, I repeat not, the owners fault for appointing these people in the first place*) and the owners are whiter than white.

    *I dunno, maybe they get corrupted by the nasty supporters after they get here.

    Therefore in 1909 I announced one morning, without any previous warning, that in the future we were going to build only one model, that the model was going to be "Model T," and that the chassis would be exactly the same for all cars, and I remarked:
    "Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black."

    Isnt that just the standard notification to company house when an officer of a company changes?

    And not a letter of firing?

    Stephen Fry said it on QI and I trust his researchers.

    That's an extract from Henry Ford's autobiography, I suspect he knows more about what he said than Stephen Fry.

    I suspect he does as well, as Fry merely reads out what is written for him. That's why I said the researchers.

    Nobody has ever told a mistruth in an autobiography in order to perpetuate a myth. FACT.

    Yes it's the form to notify companies house.

    The strange thing is, they're never deemed very urgent and are often sent in weeks, sometime months, after the individual has left.

    He must have really really upset them for them to send it in immediately.

    Either that or Brenda has threatened to go the press
