A timeline review of Armin van Buuren
How can a man get through a five or six hour performance without at least a hint of caffeine? Perhaps he just more of an athlete than I am.
The Dutch DJ, 37, brought his world tour Armin Only Intense to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on Saturday, where nearly nine thousand fans witnessed the first EDM (Electronic Dance Music) show to be held at that venue. If you been up on your local dance music news,van cleef knock off flower necklace, this show follows the recent ban on EDM events on Toronto owned venues on Exhibition Place property.
Van Buuren has been a hero of the trance community since the mid but last year he scored a Top 40 hit with the Grammy nominated (and Juno winning) single This is What It Feels Like, featuring Canadian singer Trevor Guthrie.
After cancelling a Chicago show a few days prior to attend the funeral of his father in law Van Buuren arrived in Toronto ready to entertain fans with his EDM spectacle, a performance that involves theatrical elements like acrobats, dancers, musicians, confetti, and pyrotechnics. For attendees, it kind of like going to Cirque du Soleil and a rave at the same time.
I came to this show prepared to last through the entire performance,vca knock off necklace, but I had to call it quits early. I feel like I should be attending a job fair here. Signs advertise $10 domestic beers and $15 flower crowns.
8:35: A female fan arrives wearing only lingerie and furry boots. That going to be a cold streetcar ride home.
8:50: More fans file into the venue. There are no seats here. Rows of people, some wearing flower crowns or neon headbands, sit cross legged in front of the stage, looking like futuristic hippies.
8:55: A young couple from Cambridge, Ont., Nick Lamarre and Aislynn Hatt, come to the event after Lamarre spontaneously decided to buy tickets earlier that day. I didn realize it would be a five hour show, he says with a grin.
9:00: Armin van Buuren silhouette appears in an egg like structure, and the dark figure waves as the crowd chants his name. The beat drops, and the dance party begins.
9:21: Instrumental trance music pulses out of the speakers. A male fan yawns. Dude,van cleef arpel replica necklace, the party just begun. Grab a Red Bull.
9:45: Van Buuren is still in the egg. A wintery backdrop, which reminds me of the snowy scenes from Game of Thrones, appears behind him.
9:49: Sixty five percent of the women here are very attractive. Eighty percent are younger than me.
10:05: The backdrop falls away, and a recorded version of van Buuren voice reverberates through the venue, pondering the meaning of the word He appears at the front of the stage, and a violinist joins him for the title track from his Intense album.
10:11: are you ready to be intense with me? Van Buuren asks. Little blue and red ribbons flutter from the ceiling, and fireworks burst into the air. It feels like New Year Eve.
10:26: I purchase my second $5 pizza slice of the evening, and consider expensing it to my editor Mark Daniell (ed. note: Never gonna happen).
10:39: The number of shirtless men has increased exponentially.
10:43: A piano player performs the opening chords of This is What it Feels Like. Trevor Guthrie appears, wearing his long hair tied back in a ponytail, and leads the crowd in a sing along.
10:58: you need any Mollys? A guy in a hoodie asks me, referring to the drug MDMA. first one $10, and if you like it, you can get more for $15 each. I turn him down, and he gives me a high five before disappearing into the crowd.
11:36: I see something that I never witnessed before: Fans sit on the ground and use illuminated,van cleef & arpels fake necklace, multi coloured gloves to perform mini light shows for one another.
12:24: A live drummer rips into a solo onstage. My eyelids start to droop. I lean my head against the wall and take a nap, with the rhythm of the bass drum lulling me to sleep.
1:05: It over for me. I never make it to the end of the show. The cool night air meets my face as I leave the venue, with mini blue and red ribbons dotting the pavement and the faint pulse of van Buuren beats echoing across the city.

Alastair Cook continues prolific start to season as James Anderson suffers injury scare
Alastair Cook continued his outstanding early season form on day one of a new round of Specsavers County Championship matches, which also saw an injury scare for James Anderson.
After Lancashire paceman Anderson limped off with groin trouble midway through his sixth over at Old Trafford, Yorkshire captain Gary Ballance (74) took over in the Roses match as the visitors recovered from a perilous nine for two to reach a hard working 251 for six.
England's all time leading wicket taker, next scheduled back on duty for his country in the first Test against South Africa on July 6, did not return to the field in the Division One derby and will have his injury reassessed over the weekend.
Between the rain breaks down at Chelmsford, meanwhile, Cook (114no) chalked up his 58th first class century on the back of his Royal London Cup exploits of late which have already earned him an automatic slot in next year's North South series.
The former England captain marked his return to the championship in style as he and fellow centurion Tom Westley (111) piled on a second wicket stand of 243 against Hampshire after Nick Browne departed without a run on the board.
Essex closed on that same total as Westley fell went to the final ball of the day.
Westley was just first to three figures, with his 15th four off his 178th delivery, and Cook duly followed an over later by hitting his 12th boundary off his 222nd ball.
Thunderstorms curtailed play to only 32.5 overs between Warwickshire and Somerset at Taunton, where the visitors closed on 93 for three and the Overton twins Jamie and Craig were responsible for all the wickets so far.
The top flight action was completed, in the other derby of the round,van cleef clover replica necklace, by table toppers Surrey and Middlesex at Lord's where, again between the downpours, Kumar Sangakkara (113no) had time to record his 59th first class hundred.
The veteran Sri Lankan great hit 10 fours and for good measure two consecutive sixes off Ollie Rayner in his 132 ball century, also sharing a fourth wicket stand of 114 with Dominic Sibley in a total of 265 for five before deteriorating conditions brought an early close.
In Division Two, midlands rain washed out day one between Leicestershire and high flying Kent at Grace Road and allowed just 40 overs at Derby, where the hosts reached 111 for three against Worcestershire.
Leaders Nottinghamshire escaped the bad weather by heading west,van cleef and arpels butterfly fake necklace, and their trip to Glamorgan brought a fourth first class hundred for opener Jake Libby (109) and 21st for Riki Wessels (120) out of 335 for six.
Libby's painstaking 213 ball century contained just nine boundaries as he and Wessels put on 123 for the fifth wicket and then the latter raced to three figures with 15 fours from 119 deliveries,van cleef alhambra replica necklace.
For the hosts, Timm van der Gugten recorded admirable figures of 21 5 52 4.

A Truck Owner's Guide to Ladder Racks
Ladder racks are structures that can be attached to a van, pickup truck, or other large vehicle, with the primary purpose of carrying ladders or other similar items while traveling. Although it is also possible to simply secure the ladder to the side or the top of the vehicle using a rope or cable, this is not considered safe at all. In some places, doing so may even be illegal in which case you will have to pay fines should you get caught.
When choosing which ladder rack to install on a vehicle, there are several factors that must be kept in mind in order to end up with the right choice. First and foremost,replica van cleef butterfly necklace, the ladder rack needs to be the right size. It has to be able to fit onto the vehicle and it needs to be capable of carrying all the items that you plan on bringing along. It is worth noting that these racks are not just meant for ladders but can also be used to carry many other kinds of items as well.
Another important matter to consider when shopping for a ladder rack is whether it is going to be used on a regular basis or only on rare occasions. The reason why this is important is because there are two different categories of ladder racks those that are permanently attached to the vehicle and those that can be removed and reinstalled upon demand.
Ladder racks are also be differentiated according to where they are installed on a vehicle. There are side mounted ones that may be installed along the inside of a pickup truck bed or along the side of a van or similar vehicle. The other type, called the cap racks, consists of those racks that are installed on the top of the vehicle,replica clover necklace van cleef, either over the roof of a van or on the bed of a pickup truck. A side mounted ladder rack is usually just capable of carrying one ladder while a cap rack may be able to hold a varying number of items at a time.
Different types of materials are used for making ladder racks, and the choice of material would affect the cost of the rack, its weight capacity, its net weight, and the installation process required.
Aluminum racks are fairly common because they are lightweight and very easy to install even without professional help. The cost and durability of these racks are in the average range,fake van cleef clover necklace. Galvanized steel racks are far more durable and can carry more weight but they are also significantly more expensive. There are also black powder coated racks that are valued for their durability and resistance to rust. The price is average and the only drawback is that they are quite heavy.
Before going ahead and choosing a ladder rack for your vehicle,fake van cleef and arpels clover necklace, it is imperative that you familiarize yourself with the different kinds of racks available, as well as the pros and cons of each, so as to be able to make the right decision.

a new comedy for BBC Four
Character profilesWhere it all beganTen things you didn't know about Bob ServantAs a Dundee man I am very excited to be in this comedy set in Broughty Ferry. With the comic writing skills of fellow Dundonian,replica van cleef flower necklace, Neil Forsyth, and the audacious spirit of Bob Servant it captures the very essence of the unique East Coast humour."Brian Cox

BBC Four's new comedy series, Bob Servant Independent, follows the trials and tribulations of Bob Servant (Brian Cox) as he endeavours to sell himself, relentlessly, to the good people of Broughty Ferry.
The series stars Brian Cox with Jonathan Watson, Pollyanna McIntosh, and Rufus Jones and will transmit on BBC Four from early January.
The Scottish town of Broughty Ferry doesn't know what's hit it. The sudden death of the sitting MP has resulted in a by election that could change the political map of the UK. Bob Servant (Brian Cox) has been waiting his whole life for this level of attention and he's willing to do anything to keep it.
Bob sells himself as a man of the people but doesn't really like people. He also has absolutely no understanding of the political process and uses the by election campaign as a heaven sent opportunity for self promotion.
His campaign manager is Frank (Jonathan Watson), Bob's long suffering best friend and neighbour, and their love hate relationship is a central aspect of Bob Servant Independent.
Brian Cox said: "As a Dundee man I am very excited to be in this comedy set in Broughty Ferry. With the comic writing skills of fellow Dundonian, Neil Forsyth, and the audacious spirit of Bob Servant it captures the very essence of the unique East Coast humour."
As the series progresses, Bob has an increasingly fractious relationship with the favourite to win the seat, a slick professional politician called Nick Edwards (Rufus Jones). Bob also struggles to deal with Edwards' campaign manager (and wife), Philippa Edwards (Pollyanna McIntosh), a smart,replica van cleef and arpels vintage alhambra necklace, no nonsense woman, always two steps ahead of Frank.
The two campaigns jar markedly while the series builds to the natural climax of election night. He's been a supporter of the Bob Servant cause for a long time. To be honest, Bob would probably be disappointed that he's been overlooked to play himself, but even he would reluctantly accept Brian taking up the challenge."
Bob Servant Independent is written by Neil Forsyth and produced by Owen Bell.
It was commissioned by BBC Four and Cheryl Taylor, former Controller, Comedy Commissioning, and Mark Freeland (BBC Four) and Ewan Angus (BBC Scotland) are the co executive producers.
Character profilesBob Servant (played by Brian Cox)
Businessman, raconteur, optimist and a man of endless ambition, Bob Servant is a hero for our troubled times. Born and bred in Broughty Ferry, Servant sees it as his natural fiefdom. This belief stems largely from Servant's dominant position in Broughty Ferry's notorious 'Cheeseburger Wars' a period of riotous appreciation for the snack that caused madness on the streets and lined Servant's pockets. Now retired and living in his stylish riverside house, with its much admired (by him) extension, Servant is looking for a new cause. When it's announced that Broughty Ferry is to have a by election, one man is ready and willing to step back into the limelight. Bob Servant, Independent.
Frank (played by Jonathan Watson)
Bob Servant's great loyalist is Frank, the ultimate right hand man who has spent decades under Bob's close tutelage. Frank was Director of Sauces on the cheeseburger vans and now has a similarly impressive title Campaign Manager for Bob Servant Independent. It's a job he takes very, very seriously. Nothing would make Frank happier than helping his best friend and mentor win the by election.
Bob's View on Frank "The Dean to my Torvill."
Nick Edwards (played by Rufus Jones)
A Westminster protg, Nick Edwards is a career politician who descends on Broughty Ferry to wow the locals and pick up what he sees as a safe seat. He heads up an impressive operation. Slick, well funded, highly organised,replica van cleef arpels alhambra necklace, the Edwards campaign is everything that Bob and Frank are not. Nick has come here to win a by election but no amount of political training could have prepared him for the experience of taking on Bob Servant.
Bob's view on Nick "Wet behind the ears."
Philippa Edwards (played by Pollyanna McIntosh)
The power behind the Edwards throne,fake van cleef & arpels necklace price, Philippa Edwards is a smooth political operator here to guide her husband to by election success. Elegant, highly intelligent and domineering, she is greeted with utter confusion by Bob and Frank. The cheeseburger industry was not a place for powerful women. For Frank, who as Campaign Manager is Philippa's direct rival, she is all his nightmares come true.
Bob's view on Philippa "Basically just a pretty Hitler."
Lady Provost (played by Victoria Liddelle)
Rhona McDonald is the Lady Provost of Broughty Ferry. A long term observer of Bob Servant, she is dismayed to see the arrival into the race of a man who made money while "reintroducing scurvy" to Broughty Ferry. She is impressed by the urbane Edwards, and watches in horror as Bob somehow battles himself into the by election race.
Bob's view on Lady Provost "You give someone a special necklace and they think they're Mother Theresa."

Amid all the uncertainties,fake van cleef and arpels necklace, it is natural to reach out for answers, or at least a guide to light the road to success. But the route to success for a haulier relies more on understanding the particularities of your independent work,replica van cleef alhambra necklace price, rather than a template.
Any new haulier wants to get up close and personal to their potential market or at least wrap their mind around the opportunities it presents. Being aware of your market is often presented as being imbued with marketing skills and sensibilities, and trusting your instincts about the demand for your services. But whether you drive a van in an inner city or operate a truck across the country, it is vital that your knowledge of your market goes beyond spin and digs into the specifics. Who bought similar services last year? Who will you compete with, and with whom can you partner? What are the expectations of quality and how do they vary? Sounding out the market is not a matter of reinventing the market research wheel, but simply a matter of clarifying the demand for your particular transport service in a particular place at a particular time.
Speaking of particularities, do you know who you are as a transport worker? A haulier ventures into independent work because they associate themselves with other small businesses in transportation based on ambition, experience,replica van cleef necklace, or opportunity. But as every business is different, so too are each one's strengths. As you begin your transport work, it is imperative not to be confused or delusional about these. You need to determine whether your vehicles, driving abilities, networking skills, equipment, depot location, or other factors are your main strengths. Then you can shape and differentiate your business plan and brand around this in such a way that your prospective clients are under no illusions as to the way you intend to meet demands in the market.
Do You Have Small Business Skills?
As a haulier and independent contractor, it is surprisingly easy to forget at times that business is business. While, as mentioned, it is important to recognise the specific features of transportation work and this work within your local market, there are nonetheless a great deal of similarities between what you will do and what a freelance designer, restaurateur, or courier company will do, for example. Assessing your business skills is often a matter of understanding how you will invest time and energy into improving your business as opposed to actually doing business. Accounting, marketing, record keeping, liaising and networking one excellent way of doing this is by joining an online exchange and managing computer systems are all facets of your business that are imperative,fake van cleef necklace, yet function outside the core work of delivering, transporting, and moving goods. This does not make this knowledge any less important, however.

5 Annoying Things That'll Happen During the Homebuying Experience
For first timers, buying a home can be an intimidating and terrifying experience, punctuated by moments of uncertainty and utter frustration. You might wonder what strange land you've wandered into and feel like you're about to completely lose your mind.
This doesn't mean you're crazy; it means you're normal. And if you know what to expect heading into the process, you can navigate it like a cool headed pro and keep from being a funny story at the real estate agency's holiday party.
This one hits you right out of the gate. You find a great house online and call the listing agent, expecting someone who's eager to make a big sale to answer the phone and quickly set up an appointment. Much to your disappointment, you get sent to voicemail and are forced to leave a message. A day or two goes by without any sign of life, and you start to grow impatient or perhaps a little angry. Do they not care? Did the house already sell?
Agents deal with many properties at the same time. One will call you back, and when she does, she'll set up a time to see the house within the next few days. This, too, will be annoying to you. You've now waited almost an entire week to see the property but don't freak out. You're on the schedule.
When you finally arrive at the house for your tour, the agent will likely struggle to get the key out of the lockbox. He or she will shuffle through a stack of papers and perhaps make a few phone calls in search of the right combination and you'll be standing there, dwelling on the five days you've spent arranging this visit.
Don't lose your cool. She'll find the combination, she'll open the door,mens rolex oyster perpetual datejust watch replica, and you'll get to take a long awaited tour of your dream home.
2. Drawn Out Negotiations
Loving the house as you do, you want to make an offer. Your agent will need to gather a lot of paperwork before this can happen a process that can take a few days. Be sure to remain patient here; this is just the beginning of what will likely be a long, tedious process.
Once you get all of the paperwork together and sign what feels like hundreds of documents, you'll submit an offer you think the seller just has to accept. You envision the seller jumping for joy when he sees how reasonable it is, and you're convinced he'll say "yes" on the spot but this almost never happens. You might not hear anything for days.
Once the seller does respond, you'll be extremely lucky if he accepts your first offer. He'll probably make a counteroffer, and if you're not crazy about it, you can choose to counter that offer, and he can counter your counteroffer and so on. Each round of offers requires a fresh batch of signatures and paperwork, and this can stretch on for days or weeks. You'll want to freak out every time you hear the word "counteroffer," but don't; this is a natural part of the process.
If you thought your real estate agent liked paperwork, wait until you meet your lender.
You've already been preapproved for a loan, but now that it's time to apply for an actual loan for an actual house, you'll be asked for copies of financial documents you never knew you had. It will seem ridiculous, and you'll wonder why he didn't ask for all of it in the first place. Just remember the lender is on your side; he wants you to get this house, so don't freak out.
If you're applying for an FHA loan, that can take 30 to 45 days to process from the date of the purchase agreement. It's a long time, but that's just how it is. Don't let it get to you.
4. Scary Inspection Reports
Before a lender will approve a loan, he'll require a home inspection. Inspectors make a living off of finding a multitude of defects, so be prepared for your delightful little dream home to have a termite problem, a leaky roof, mold growing in the basement, or electric wiring that needs repair. Unless it's a brand new house, nothing in that inspection report should shock you.
Once the list of issues finds its way into your hands, it's normal to ask the seller to shoulder the cost of a few of the repairs. This in itself can be a negotiation process, so be prepared for some back and forth. It's worth it to have most of the problems fixed before you move in. That way, you can focus on enjoying your new home, rather than focus on finding a plumber to unclog the basement sink.
If the inspection report is especially scary, consider asking the seller to pay for a one year home warranty. This will end up making any further issues that pop up much, much cheaper to fix.
5,rolex oyster perpetual datejust gold replica. Rocky Closings
I don't know why, but nearly every closing I've attended has been delayed in some way. So when you're finally ready to close on the house, don't be surprised if the appointment is pushed back an hour. It could be anyone's fault the lender, the seller, or the title company but don't stress it. You're so close to hearing the rewarding jingle of your new keys.
Once it's time to write the check for the final closing costs, be prepared for the amount to be different than what the mortgage company told you it would be beforehand. This might be due to some math error on the company's part, but be ready for it, and don't stress about it. Once you've written that check and signed the last paper, you're done. You own it!
There will be times during the homebuying process that will make you want to give up and live in a van down by the river. But if you keep a cool head throughout the not so cool parts of this experience, you'll have plenty of reason to celebrate. Throw a big party for your family and friends, put that patio to use, and make some new memories.
Then, send a thank you note to that scatterbrained agent of yours because, looking back, it was all worth it.

5 Stupid Travel Myths Everyone Believes
Not spam, actually. These are all friends of mine.I realized I had a column to write. And because nothing happens to me that isn't hilarious and insightful and life affirming, I thought I might rub one out about my recent trip. (We think up poop jokes, but don't write them down, mainly.)
As a fairly experienced spoiler of great world cities, I've absorbed more than a bit of traveling wisdom, and one of the things that still surprises me most is how many people do it wrong. There's a huge number of misconceptions people have about the simple act of visiting a place and drinking all its beer. So then, as a public service to you, prospective world beer drinkers, I present a list of five traveling tips that are completely bullshit.
It's all part of the game, though. Just be firm with them.
By spending your time on buses or trains, you're missing out on all the texture a city has. By simply walking around, you'll be able to see how a city actually lives and breathes. You'll see the way they drive (manically), the way they urinate in the street (freely), and the way they urinate while they drive (frothily).
On my recent trip to Europe City, I walked everywhere: the Louvre, Big Ben, the beer gardens, Little Ben,rolex datejust oyster perpetual replica, the Puppet Sex Museum, everywhere. And although those sights were themselves fantastic, in between I saw how Europeans actually live. It's mainly sneering at foreigners, but still.(thinking) "Who is zeees eediot toorist making jokes de la merde and laughing to heemself?"
First,replica rolex mens oyster perpetual datejust, there's no need to be polite because everyone you're dealing with hates you already (see below). And honestly, I've traveled a ton; my language skills consist of some barely remembered high school French and "cerveza,replica rolex datejust watch," and I have never had any issue traveling in any country in the world. Because of things like the Internet and good old imperialism, basically everyone in the world knows at least some of our baffling, mongrel tongue. And failing that, they'll usually be able to figure out what you want with hand gestures or simply shouting "cerveza" at them in increasing volume."Excuse moi, sir. Uh. How much for this . cerveza?"
Buy Local Handcrafts
I'm always a little reluctant to buy souvenirs, mindful of the fact that they just mean more to carry around with me. But I do understand why some people see value in them, if only to serve as reminders of your adventure. After all, memories do fade, especially if you're traveling properly.
Which is to say, with the throttle pinned.
The conventional wisdom, then, if you are looking for a souvenir, is that you should gravitate toward local crafts from the region's artisans, something that is more authentic than the mass produced crap you find in museum gift shops.
Although I would pay quite a sum of money for a Van Gogh bobblehead.
First, the best souvenirs are rarely bought; they're found. Objects that come with stories attached to them, like "This is one of the rocks the villagers threw at me" or "This is one of the rocks I threw back.""And here's their Rock God I stole, which set the whole thing off."
And secondly, and I want to be fair here, local handmade products are often massive sucking piles of crap. Remember that one kid in school who showed up in homemade clothes and everyone threw rocks at her? That's what you'll look like when you show up at home with your sad little handmade purse from the bazaars of Southleft Europe. And when you consider that you won't be able to walk 20 steps without someone offering you counterfeit designer goods at rock bottom prices .

It's the prices that are rock bottom, not the bags. If you put rocks in these bags,replica gold rolex oyster perpetual datejust, the bottoms will fall out.

Remember that one kid in school who showed up in homemade clothes and everyone threw rocks at her? That's what you'll look like when you show up at home with your sad little handmade purse from the bazaars of Southleft Europe. And when you consider that you won't be able to walk 20 steps without someone offering you counterfeit designer goods at rock bottom prices .

400 car jobs in Southampton and Dagenham
Media captionUnite's Roger Maddison: "Employees at Dagenham have been close to tears"
Carmaker Ford has announced plans to close two UK plants with the loss of 1,400 jobs.
Its Southampton Transit van factory and the stamping plant at Dagenham, east London, will shut, with union sources saying job losses could reach 2,000.
Ford said it planned to close the plants next year.
The news came a day after Ford said it had started consultations on closing its factory at Genk in Belgium with the loss of 4,300 jobs to cut costs.
The firm told the unions it was looking to close the Genk factory, which makes the Mondeo and S Max models, in 2014.
The carmaker also announced it would be investing in a new diesel engine range at Dagenham,replica mens rolex datejust.
Ford said the decision to close the plants was taken "against a backdrop of the severe and persistent economic crisis in Europe",oyster perpetual datejust rolex replica, which had seen demand for cars in Western Europe drop by 20% since 2007 and car sales in the region hit a 20 year low. It predicted a loss for Ford Europe of more than $1.5bn (930m) in 2012.
'Disgraceful'Paul Everitt,rolex oyster perpetual datejust watch replica, head of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, said the move was "part of wider restructuring to ensure a stronger and more competitive European automotive industry".
"The immediate priority is to help those impacted secure alternative employment.
Car sales in Europe have slumped during the eurozone crisis, and Ford expects the weakness to persist.
Demand for commercial vehicles such as the Transit has also fallen as many of its business customers are in difficulty.
Ford says it is eager to scale back its manufacturing capacity to match demand, a logic that might please investment analysts but will do little to comfort those whose jobs are on the line.
Carmakers and workers jostle over European factories
"These are difficult times for the European automotive industry as manufacturers adapt to new market conditions and changing patterns of global demand."
However, unions criticised Ford for its decision and the way the carmaker went about announcing it.
Unite said the plant closures could lead to the loss of up to 2,mens rolex oyster perpetual datejust watch replica,000 jobs at Ford, with production of the Transit van moving to Turkey.
"Ford has betrayed its workforce and its loyal customer base," said the union's general secretary Len McCluskey.
"Unite is going to fight these closures. This announcement has been handled disgracefully.
"Only a few months ago Ford was promising staff a new transit model for Southampton in 2014. The planned closures will really hurt the local economies and the supply chain will be badly hit up to 10,000 jobs could be at risk."
The GMB union said 1,000 jobs would be going at Dagenham.
"This is devastating news for the workforce in Southampton and Dagenham. It's also devastating news for UK manufacturing," said the union's national officer, Justin Bowden.
