I see that Rover's employees are now being headhunted by IBM in Ireland to help fill 1,800 vacancies. Apparantly IBM believe that the Longbridge plant could be a rich source of technicians and engineers. Hmm, maybe IBM should leave well enough alone. I don't fancy using IBM hardware that's been put together by a Rover engineer :(

The Government could not save Rover from being broken up because German owners BMW gave no hint of its sell-off plans, Trade and Industry Secretary Stephen Byers says.
During questions by the Trade and Industry Select Committee, he said BMW was playing its cards "very close to its chest" before deciding to sell its loss-making subsidiary.
Mr Byers took the rare step of publishing details of private conversations he had with BMW and Rover bosses to show the German company never raised the prospect of a sale until days before it was approved.
Rover chairman Walter Samann outlined a four-point plan for stemming mounting losses of £2 million a day when he met Mr Byers on March 10 - just six days before the BMW board voted to sell Rover.
