- Quotes
[Dominic has been describing the strikes and poor labour relations at British Leyland]
Dominic Sandbrook: When the Rover SD1 was launched in the summer of 1976, production ran at just 50% of capacity. Buyers had to wait up to nine months for their new cars to be delivered. Leyland's much-lauded "Car of Tomorrow, Today" was fast becoming "The Car of Today, Tomorrow - or maybe the day after". The Sun's cartoonist captured the common view of life at British Leyland.
[various close-ups of the cartoon]
Dominic Sandbrook: Mugs of cocoa. Games of Ludo. Copies of Playboy. And the workers all tucked up in bed. "'Ere," one of them says, "How did that car get on the assembly line."
