Dead Machines124 viewsOn the production line, the computers and machinery sit - deadly still and powered down.
Production here has long since stopped being productive!

Thanks for all your hard work... Now fuck off!
Yours,

Hoover Dyson RipOff157 viewsThe source of all the problems - and some analysts even say the REASON Cambuslang was closed.
