i wonder what thats all about......

How did you get from a quote that the plant was shutting down for 2 weeks, which is the regular summer shutdown for the plant when everyone goes on holiday, to the thread title that the plant is shutting down for 60 days?

What thread is this Quote from?? I'm not inclined to believe this info. The Google Searches I've done show some earlier dates in regards to slow downs NOT actual closings. Except for the re-introduction of the MINI to the US. These have been related to changes in manufacturing procedures ie. Paint and body style differences.

oh hell.....my bad. i meant 14 (fourteen) days. i was posting from the capcom games office and i was probably thinking about something else at the time.

math and video games don't mix.

and if you click on the blue arrow next to the original poster's quote, it'll bring you to the thread it was from.

and i don't know jack about UK except from the food/concert venues/tv from my band days. so i apologize for being ignorant if they have an awesome 2 week vacation.

EDIT: i just contacted a mod to change the number in the title. sorry for any heart attacks i may have caused.
