Car workers let down; YourSay.


I WRITE to add to comments made by many, chiefly those loyal, committed and long-serving former car production workers at Longbridge.

Apparent; ostensible.

n.
Outward appearance; semblance.



seeming·ly adv.

Created in the 1974 local government reorganization, the county embraced the Birmingham conurbation and comprised seven metropolitan districts: Walsall, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Sandwell, Birmingham, Solihull,  with so much contempt and a totally negative attitude to the prospect of them gaining employment?

tr.v. dev·as·tat·ed, dev·as·tat·ing, dev·as·tates
1. To lay waste; destroy.

2. To overwhelm; confound; stun: was devastated by the rude remark.
 by the failure of recent management, consortia, etc.
