My brother has managed to get us corporate hospitality and tour, just wondering if anybody has been?
Quite exited about it, i think they make agila, corsa and a range of astras there.

Good, meet up in the hospitality bit and get briefed then a fair walk around. Will have changed a bit since we went, they were making H. Interesting to see it like.

Bang on the money. I thought he meant a tour of the town centre, which would have taken all of about three minutes as various smackheads, chavs and 12 year olds with six kids were pointed out.
Ps: for the o/p if you do visit Ellesmere Port for fucks sake wear a 'trackie' or they'll think you're posh and mug you.

We will literally be driving straight there and then back we have work commitments the next day so sadly, tourism is out of the question but thank you for the warnings.
Iain do they permit cameras?

If you go on the factory tour ask someone if they still use tricycles to get round the buildings and if so ask them why.

this word can not be associated with Ellesmere Port, the tour of the factory itself will be pretty interesting though.
