Ouch! I resent that remark
But the rest of your post makes a good point. After all, how happy woudl Siemens be if the EU decided that a UK outside couldn't trade freely?
After all, they just got a £1.5 Billion contract to build trains, at the expense of a British manufacturer! Apparently, paying the Germans a tiny bit less than it would have cost for the UK to build the trains is better value for money, despite the thousands of job losses and the benfit payments this will incur, not to mention the loss of a strategic asset.
And I bet a whole ton of money that this contract they signed ends up over budget and will cost more than the British tender would have cost anyway.

wanting to go home. i myself limited my drinking to friday afternoons and saturday evenings but still got ribbed about being a pussy! coming up to
christmas shutdown a lot of the guys were offered silly money to work on a milestone completion project at eurodisney. two solid weeks at 16 hour days
equating to about £2200 all in including board and lodgings. the sub contractor did a runner and the guys got nothing save for a few who squeezed a
sub off the paymaster. that kind of summed up the state of things in euroland for me.
