LOCAL M.E.P., Mr Gary Titley, recently went into print to state that the Japanese car manufacture, Nissan, "might pull out of Great Britain, because of the strength of the pound against the Euro".

Would he care to comment on the fact that the Japanese car company, Mazda, last week announced a loss of £30 million and is to close its Hiroshima factory in Japan, with the loss of 1,800 jobs, due to the "weakness of the Euro"?
