From The Daily Mail 19th March 2009:
Next year's British Motor Show has been cancelled because of the crisis in the car industry.
It is the first time the iconic show has been cancelled - apart from during the two World Wars - since it began more than 100 years ago.
Organisers blamed the economic downturn and the 'unprecedented challenge' facing the UK's beleaguered motor industry.
Last year's show was attended by Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

Great pic and sound advice. Mind you, I would ask him to open an LACS function, for example..all the while hoping that ole Jonah magic would work its wonders...
I always need Gordo was tyre-some, but this illustrates the point very well!
Four wheels off my wagon; I keep rolling along. The Cherokees have captured me, but I'm still rolling along.
Not quite the original, from way back when, (Roy Rogers, maybe?) but near enough I think?
PS: On reflection, I think the second lot of "rolling along" should read "singing my song".
Welcome back Apricotfox - and nice to see you back as well John.
Grumpy Granny - the song you refer to can be heard here.
Perhaps the Labour Party could use it as an alternative election song to "things can only get better."
Good picture Mr Lakes, very funny, but sadly, true.
No doubt you'll miss the Motor show,
I've just had a notification from the DWP increasing my state pension in 'buttons' and a letter from the taxman increasing my tax! Hey ho,
'The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh'.
Hope you, Dr. Lakes, and little Rosie are well.

Thanks for dropping by, Trubes.
Little Rosie is doing fine, thank you and you can see her here
Thanks vm Scrobs - that took me back a week or two! They don't write 'em like that any more...
Mr Lakes, I've just taken a peek at Rosies picture and she's gorgeous. She looks a bit mischievous though!

"A bit mischievous?
Good grief, let me tell you....
We thought that the late and lamented Robbie was naughty. He was nothing on this little rascal!
But we love her....
Mr Lakes - Just realised that on Saturday I inadvertently called you "Scrobs".
Apologies - a distinct case of mistaken identity. Can't think what came over me. Now where did I leave my specs?
Things are bad. REALLY bad.
REALLY REALLY bad. I mean REALLY REEEEALLY REEEEEEALLY bad.
It still hasn't hit home with many British people yet - but it will soon enough. Especially when other G20 nations have recovered and we haven't.
