Especially the stupid/mislead Scottish ship builders, where P&O went out
of their way to give them a ferry contract and in gratitude the workers
had strikes that delayed delivery by a year. At the same time P&O gave a
contract to a Japanese yard. That contract was disaster too. The net
result is that Italian, German and French shipyards almost have more
cruise and ferry work than they can cope with and British shipyards are
near dead.
And of course the French and Italians never go on strike. ;-)
Got any more examples I can have a good laugh at?
