Harry Rednap

Well I'm I being a little cynical, but Harry Rednap has all the charges of tax avoidance dropped on the same day as the England Football mangers job becomes vacant..
Well I guess we know who will be the new manager then !
On a different note, it turns out the last 30 years of  turning are economy into a service one maybe a mistake..
So it has only taken 30 years for us to work out that if we do not produce anything we cannot really function as a country ...
Really 30 years to work this out !
Manufacturing used to be over 25% of our economy, now it less than 10%. We still do produce things, hi tech low volume, ie most F1 cars are made in  this country, we produce more cars than we ever have before. Just not for a company that is British owned.
People seem to look down on those who work with their hands, we now all want to have desk jobs. I spent 20 years in production work, First as a dental technician model maker, then for a meat processor and  finally I worked in print, ending up as a printer.
Only redundancy forced me away from that industry, some aspects of the job where hard work, long hours etc. But now those jobs have gone, so where do those who want to work with their hands go ?
Service jobs are not just the answer..
But most things are now made in Asia or India for a fraction of the cost. So I guess we really are in a catch 22 situation ...
Be we still need to start producing things again ..
Be proud if you work with your hands, you are an important part that helped make this country..
And maybe, just maybe help to remake it once again.
A little rant , maybe.

Oh and yes, Harry Rednap would make a really good England manager ..
