(i) Chinese car manufacturer sends mega Tanker to flood UK with cut price cars, this is the fifth mega tanker built by the company, later described as a container ship, when in fact it is the dedicated car carrier" BYD Xi'an" capable of loading 9200 CEU (car equivalent units)

(ii) Residents of Hull have been told to keep their doors and windows shut as fire breaks out on Container Ship (later called boat GRRRR) when in fact it is a bulk carrier in Albert Dock Hull

At least every ship is not now a tanker, they have discovered a new word, container

There is a lad in my road who has one of these Chinese cars. Have had a look around it and it does look to be a well put together car/SUV . Time will tell.

His is mid range and it is over £40k, maybe I am out of touch but nothing cheap in the price. But we see more and more Chinese cars on UK roads everyday. Maybe if UK/EU cars were priced better people would show more Brand loyalty.
