Last i heard, Jaguar was sold to Tata.
An Indian manufacturing company.

Known mostly in the West, for making
small, inexpensive, utility trucks.


If spoiled rich kid wants a Tata,
Mum & Da should rush right out,
and buy a Tata for him.

Or possibly Tata paid the kid to dump the BMW !!
Great Ad.

Tata Nexon looks quite nice! But what an odd name for a car, Tata. Does that mean anything?

Up north tata means goodbye or c u later
They also own a big part of the steel industry here or what's left of it.
Always puzzled me being just a normal person (well kind of) that when foreign companies buy British or any other countries business that it's obvious that in time they'll move it to their own country as it's cheaper to produce

Yes and funny thing is that with time, when the standard of living goes up in those cheaper countries, the wages will as well and at some point it won't be cheaper anymore. I guess. It's what happened here.
The difference in wages can be annoying. I've done online things and then for Westerners the exchange is normal, affordable, yet for someone in Asia about a month's pay for the average person :/

PS funny about the meaning of tata, hihi. Here it's a nonsense thingie, used to describe what a baby babbles.

There is a thing going on about a young 16 year old girl who's protesting about global warming on the news and a green party spokes woman who is away with the fairy's (clueless )
They are blaming us for buying cheap clothing from places like India but want everyone to be equal
Ok, stop buying stuff, steel (as we've been talking about ) and everything else. No plastic, no anything .
Great. problem solved

Oh, hang on a minute. how are those people going to live? The one's that live in real poverty like begging in the gutters of Mumbai and the clothes factories

Not sure how that's going to work. In the meantime, we in the west will still want cheaper stuff!

Yes, it requires a shift from greed to love and caring. The current system is rather insane. My husband at the time worked his @$$ of as an engineer, fulltime, made just above average. My friend was a part-time stewardess and she made more than him!
Now sorry to say, that is BS.
Her husband was the youngest KLM captain, flying 747s, making a fortune. On top of that they could fly places for free as they could get seats on the KLM planes without paying for it. So there's a couple who could easily afford to pay for tickets but got them for free!
Now I was happy for them, but if you look at it logically it doesn't make sense. He retired a few months back at 57, likely gets a generous pension. My ex husband -same age- has to keep working his @$$ off till he's 67!
That kind of stuff just isn't right.

As for the rest... you see more and more people going to trade shops. You hand in goods, get points, and you can 'buy' things in the shop with the points. Clothes, shoes, DVDs, books, toys, coffee machines, plates and whatnot.
Funny enough this has been instigated by the ones in power who make life difficult for us by raising taxes and price of everything. People do find a way and it is bringing us back to trading, which is great!
The ones in power don't make a cent from that :)
Things are changing.

I'm not sure about that.
Just because someone has a higher paid job than the next person doesn't make them greedy.
I couldn't fly a plane and I'm not bitter about what they earn.
I think the greedy people are those in none production jobs like investment banking.
People who do well by starting a production company of some sort and it goes really well and they employ manual workers are more worthy of what they make.
All jobs have perks, weather it is flight tickets, rail travel, building materials etc.
Like the lady who sold you the crystal. She will have made a profit from that.

I'm also not bitter, haha. What I was trying to point out is that what people get paid for the work they do is not right. The way it's divided is not right.
And I didn't say people like my friend and her husband were greedy either.
The ones I meant are much higher up the foodchain. And yes those are greedy as all they want is money and power. And in order to maintain that they want to keep the current system going where people in general are not wealthy, have to work hard for a living and so on. And if things go better for the common folk, they increase prices of food, VAT, taxes and so on.
All the money in the world is with 10% of the population! That's what I mean. And it's not about me being angry or something, I operate on a different level, hihi. Some people also have it in them to make money more so than others. But... why should someone who doesn't have that and is for instance a truck driver, engineer, plumber, office worker etc. not get valued as much as the one who did have this thing?
Like at my ex hubbie's company, the engineers are the least rewarded yet THEY are the ones who basically are the company.
They should be valued as much as the company's sales rep.
And that system's gotta go. The way I see it we are slowly working towards that as well.

I understand what you're saying but that's leaning more towards communism, all getting equal pay and then what happens with that is someone who is inherently lazy gets the same for doing nothing!
It happened here years ago which is why we lost so much industry, mainly because the unions supported them. So it's not that easy.

No, I'm not talking about communism. That has proven to not work just like capitalism isn't sustainable.
Interested you mention the same pay. They are contemplating that and have tested it in areas and it was extremely successful! A basic income. They're toying with it here over well, but then they f*(k it up with how they want to implement it. That way would be disastrous for many people, including me.
But the concept of everyone getting a basic income regardless does work. Tested and it did. Not an easy switch to make, cannot be done in one go.
Thing is when people maybe don't do jack for a while, but most will get bored and start doing something again.
It allows the masses to finally do what makes them happy instead of working in a job they hate, which causes many health issues and thus taxes our health system and cost. Happy people are healthy people. But then you get straight back to those 10% with power and money, although the ones in power is likely less than 10%, cos Big Pharma doesn't want us to be healthy.

In any case it is said that around/after 2032 communities will rise that will live that way. Also that things will become more local, including trade.
How it'll all pan out, wait and see.

So, I totally disagree with that system.
You go into your little gemstone shop.
There are 2 gems on the counter.
Gem number 1 is €10
Gem number 2 is €50
You want the €50 gem but so does the lady next to you but she can't afford it.

Your both on equal pay.

Now, should the gemstone owners cut the price of the gems
Or should she buy the cheapest gem?
The gemstone shop owners need to make a profit to pay bills and shop rent.
The lady is just a cleaner.
Should the cleaning lady and the shop owners both earn the same?

What you're saying is great in one of those hippy communes where they hug tree's and have sex with each other and the sky is purple.
But 'commune' is 'commun' 'isum' !

Peculiar that something beautiful that is about togetherness, living from the heart, people being people instead of numbers, one-ness and so on is perceived as communism or hippies and sex.
But to each their own.

Oh, I do agree with you crystal but the world would never be like that as I'm sure you know. I only joke about the tree hugging, I'd end up with one I couldn't get my arms around
The thing is that progress can never go backwards.
,we'll never not have the internet, phones, cars television and all that stuff.
People who say about big business are doing so on there smart phones drinking a Starbucks coffee!
I was walking my friends dog the other day and there is a cut through from the field to the station. London computers were coming off the train. not one looked up. The dog wanted to say hi to them. I said 'stan' they don't even speak to people so you have no chance!
That's the world we live in.

Sure, there's a lot of people who are like that but there's more and more who aren't. I've been part of the intuitive development/spiritual/energywork community (there you have it, community :) Nothing to do with communism or sex) for some 15 years so I have and see an entirely different picture.
There's more and more people unhappy with the way society is construed, including teenagers. That's why so many feel lost. They sense something is seriously off but there's no way for them to change things as they are still young.
But they'll grow up to be different, and this will continue with their children.
I'll not bore you with it.

As for the tree hugging... I've actually done a lot of healing / energywork with trees. It is marvelous! Oddly enough I was thinking of doing a vid on that this afternoon as I'm slowly working on a course in personal & intuitive development. Not the average one but one where I include all that I have learnt and know, most of my wisdom which is based on life, hedgewitchcraft, intuitive development, energywork, Tibetan Lightwork, psychology, coaching, working with crystals, healing, card reading, shamanism, Feng Shui, and so on.
Working with trees will also be in there, hence me wanting to record a clip on it. So it's funny in that sense you came up with it, hihi.
At the time I was working with trees I began to pick up on their energies, feeling the difference between oak, hawthorn, elder, alder and so on. It's pretty amazing! Alder is very playful, like a child, pure, innocent, joyful. Elder is more like an old lady and requires respect.

I work with dragons, Elementals, Faeries, angels, Archangels, Ascended Masters, Spirits of Place, sometimes Devas and so on.
And no, I'm not a nutter, not a hippie. I'm as down to earth as they come.

Oh and to slightly go back to cars: I've had a bumper sticker saying "My other car is a broom" and a sign on my drive way saying "Witches parking only! All others will be Toad!"
The bumper sticker has gone, due to weather, the sign is still there :)
Few Dutch will get it, but I love it, haha.

That's great. I was in Norwich a couple of years ago visiting my sister. In the street were some nice pink blossom tree's. Underneath one was a small pink car that had a sticker saying powered by fairy dust. The wind had blown much of the blossom over the road by the car. as we walked past a young girl came out, it was her car. I said, excuse me but I think your car is leaking fuel!
She didn't get it

You got it
