No work please, we’re British

We almost spilled our pints upon reading comments Neeraj Kanwar allegedly made about British workers. In news now reported by numerous media sites, Daily Mail associate city editor John-Paul Ford Rojas quotes the vice-chairman and managing director of Apollo Tyres Ltd. as opining that employees in the UK “hardly work,” preferring instead to “go to the pub.” Kanwar concedes that these comments were just a “quip” – but he’s unlikely to consider the UK for a future tyre plant.
