Ah, yes, first Jaguar, now this.
See this?
“During the late 80s, LGB entered into a Technical Know-How agreement with Daido Kogyo,”

I wonder if that name is a translation of someone we know?

Sprockets.
Does that mean you are telling us all the “new” lgb will be chain and sprocket-driven?

#3

Ah, now I understand!
“LGB is a leading Fine Blanking Manufacturer”

OK Jack, HJ et all. Have at it.

#5

I’ll stick to using “Spacely Sprockets” thank you very much :smiley:

There’s a hostile takeover for Spacely Sprockets. It seems Cogswell’s Cogs is looking to buy!

Why on Earth would the Belgians, who have real beer, want Budweiser?

Budweiser will now be bottled and marketed as "recycled green" beer, an "aftermarket" rebottling of real beer. I'll let you figure that one out for yourself ;) .

Well, Inbev dumped Rolling Rock and gave it to A-B, and put several people out of work and closed Latrobe, but Sam Adams is now operating the plant (owned by City Brewing of WI) and put some workers back to work.

Now the only hope with this purchase is that Inbev will dump Rolling Rock again…

At least by having the company in India they’ll be close to “customer service”!

Perhaps its just me, but this LGB story line always seems to sound like a series of bad jokes. :wink:

There is something funny about Budweiser now being a Belgian beer. “Hey honey, let’s go out for some country music, line dancing, and Belgian beer…” :slight_smile:

As it should be, since it was just a dumb joke in the first place. :wink:
