It's a shame that people who think it was sold too cheap didn't join
in the "making a killing" at the time.


Some people actually have beliefs about public ownership - it's not all
just about trying to rake it in.


It's interesting how the "too cheap" and "but public ownership is
better" viewpoints often co-incide in self selecting groups such as
this! Maybe they should have bought it and run as a CoOp, but it would
probably have been as successful as the Meriden Motorcycle works.
