Why Jaguar Land Rover has really pleased me today.

And it isn't just that I adore Jaguar cars, and particularly new ones, or come from Wolverhampton. The news of job creation should be enough to make anybody happy, and rightly it has, when today Jaguar Land Rover announced a new car plant in my home town.

After the company's previous cuts, the £335 million investment in the area does not simply mean "Fantastic, there are 750 new jobs in Wolverhampton, so 750 people can get off the dole", it really does mean something more positive in many other respects.

Finally settled back in Wolverhampton after a few days in my student house down in Exeter (where internet was only possible with my mother's dongle - don't laugh - so was therefore limited) and now I can update properly.


I considered bringing up this driving thing before I went down to the South West because of a few incidents when I was driving to my dance classes. But it was my motorway experience to and from Exeter that really concreted this topic in my mind. So here goes with a train of thought (except about cars) that may ring bells with some of you.
