Banishing manufacturing stereotypes

Sorry to say but in response to the title of the article. My experience of modern manufacturing does heavily involve cold dark caverns and oily rags. That environment does indeed seem to be cultural to the UK, especially along the M62 corridor. Traveling as a roving engineer for an automotive supplier I note that the Germans, French and Swiss could seem to avoid descending to that environment but even new facilities in the UK would start to show signs of wear much sooner than in other countries
