They owned Vauxhall from 1925 to 2017, so showed a bit more commitment to British motorcar manufacture than some German companies, such as BMW. The Sherman tank is also from the USA. During the war, Vauxhall did manufacture the Churchill tank and Bedford trucks for the military.

But I still wouldnt park a car with a GB/UK sticker on the Falls, or IRL on the Shankill lol. Would even be nervous with an IL or UI plate on a car there too - an old manager of mine had his tyres slashed whilst parked on the Shankill (the main road, not in a residential street, with the police suggesting that it was either mistaken identity or the UI plate). When I first got the ZT, I had to go to a conference at the Met, on the Springfield Road, to which I was told there was no parking. I looked in to removing the chequered union flags from the rear for the risk of vandalism. Found out it had onsite parking, so didnt have to do anything. But they have faded now, and have no intention of replacing them. -------------------------------------------------------------------- With regards to UK/GB stickers, the more correct label should be UK anyway (UK = Great Britain and Northern Ireland, although probably better represented would be BI for British Isles - but then that would be divisive too not just in NI, but as the BI includes Ireland, it would probably start a war lol). I thought this had been agreed at some level though, early in negotiations regarding the rules of driving in EU countries after Brexit (eg from Northern to Southern Ireland).

I believe now, the JVC branded televisions, are actually now an own brand for the Dixons Group now in the UK, with nothing to do with the JVC company or JVCKenwood as they are now. effectively Matsui TVs with a prestige name.

My daughter and her Irish (County Clare) husband have toured the Republic several times in their English registered car. Never had a single trouble anywhere. Lucky I guess.
Some of the posts above are eye-openers to say the least, especially with the latest news about a new agreement and the associated fuss. I now listen to my Furies records with renewed interest.

I take your point Alan and admire your magnanimity. I have no personal experience of NI reality other than the horror from the English press down the years. However, in the broadest sense, I equate the rabid sectarianism with subjects such as racism and most of the other 'isms'. It seems no matter what is offered, other than complete capitulation, it will never be enough. A tragedy whatever the outcome.
