Quote of the day - Don't build it, and we'll just come and take over

A nice chap in an earlier discussion about our woeful national coordination of anything to prevent waste sent me a discussion piece.

I just want to share this from its midst, as I'd heard of it before and now see it in all it's... unfortunate... glory:

"Toyota are now using the knowledge gained through their production system to deliver more sustainable(higher quality) corporate facilities at zero extra cost.

In 1984 the DTI arranged a ‘mission to Japan’ and asked why they let us look at their factories, the Japanese said “because you are already ten years behind and anyway we know you won’t do it!’

Just how did this country get Great again?
