Aston Martin to build cars at St Athan?

PM makes appeal to Aston Martin to open plant in Wales - BBC News

Aside from 'that' wedding car, and access to decent shipping routes, there's already a connection which won't have done the proposal any harm.

No problem from this callsign, so long as nobody calls it St Athans ...

When politicians 'persuade' industrialists to build car factories in the wrong place for political reasons, I get reminded of the Roote's group being persuaded to build Hillman Imps outside of Glasgow.

That's a very long way from Aston Clinton, near RAF Halton, where Lionel Martin started racing his 'Aston Martin'.

Do you think they will rebrand as the 'Athan Martin'?
