I can't tell you how weird of a sentence this is from the North American perspective, where "sheer weight of numbers" in a protest generally means "preemptive deployment of fully-kitted riot police with tear gas at the ready".
This factory carries just 4 (FOUR) hours worth of parts, owing to the “just in time” delivery system so many industries now use. So, delays/interruption to supplies of greater than 4 hours could stop this factory from working. Many supermarket chains work on the same principle, with daily carry over stocks kept to a minimum, based on the expected arrival time of daily deliveries.
We need to start a campaign for an independent Wessex. **** that corrupt load of bastards in Whitehall we want a parliament of our own. A hard border is needed up the middle of Hampshire through Berkshire to the Thames and across to Bristol. Full and unilateral independence for Wessex.
As people know I work for Honda which also uses "just in time" delivery system (although ours is longer than 4 hours) it works fine until there are delays ...weather, supplier problems etc. So when this happens we use a system called WTA (working time account which basically means banked hours.....sometimes sent home sometimes not.) and when the parts have arrived we have to do overtime using the banked hours to recover the deficit.
Several of the media in the USA, including CNN, have been doing that since before he was even elected. Critically, even Fox News are turning on him. Trump supporters have only fringe right-wing channels to get their reliable "news" from now on.
Bristol voted overwhelmingly for Remain, even the Mendip Hills had a narrow Remain majority. This idea could catch on!

Can't make the London march, had a minor op on my shoulder last week leaving it sore to say the least. Doc not impressed with the idea of me lugging bags on and of the train and around London then down to Southampton. Heading up to Amsterdam instead got to get some tees done and placards made.
F*ck me, your arguments are all over the place. I don't know where to start. You say there is no such thing as 'bullying', and then claim both US and UK are bullying. Okay. You've gone from saying all Asian people dislike each other, to them being 'economic rivals' (are we talking the public, or the governments? You've lost me on this). Not everyone hates the Japanese at all. That is a lazy generalisation. You think the 'only' reason China is pissing people off, is because of their economic clout? Again, that's way too simplistic. And your 'yellow menace' comment is just utter nonsense, and the implication is frankly offensive. Anyway, looks like neither of us is going to back down regarding this, and it's becoming tiresome.So let's just say you win. You're an expert on Asia obviously.
Anyone got any info on the new agreement that Boris is making with the EU and possibly the dup. Or is it all hype?
Rumour is that it involves a border in the North Sea, something Boris was vehemently against when it was mooted before. The DUP are said to be against it, but how against it may depend on ££££££. I saw a comment this morning, unsubstantiated, that suggested that they have been offered billions as a sweetener to fall into line. Edit. It has been noted that I have made a geographical error, but I will leave it there so everyone will know I am a numpty.
