I've been in hospital for a couple of weeks, so I've also been suffering from 'Forum Starvation'!
Hence this belated comment ...
I lived in Grays, on the Thames near Tilbury, for the first 29 years of my life and Ford were a major employer in the area. I well remember the succession of strikes that took place at Dagenham at around the time I started work. But then, of course, Trevor never mentioned a commitment from the Ford worker ...
Frankly, I'm surprised that Dagenham remained open as long as it did, although there isn't much left there these days ...
