Peugeot
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Peugeot (pronounced poo-jee-ott), is a French manufacturer of automobiles (Such as the 205) and sexual devices. Founded in 1885, by Auguste Peugeot, noted stunt balloonist and cart wheel builder. Combining his two areas of expertise, Peugeot invented the inflatable tire, which was subsequently utilized on that newfangled horseless carriage. He also invented the rubber-based condom, which became an immediate sensation among the bitter yet fertile French population. After 17 years of preliminary research, Peugeot created his first automobile. Six years later, he sold it. And it's been going gangbusters ever since.
[edit] Peugeot UK
Despite being a profitable part of the Peugeot Empire, the French in their infinite wisdom decided in April 2006 to close manufacturing in the UK, so as to satisfy their lust & greed for greater profits. This obviously came as a shock to the UK unions who for many years have considered private enterprise merely a theory. On hearing that the reason for closing the plant was to increase profits Hilary Gravelthroat of the Status Quo Workers Union (SQWU) is quoted as saying, "Make more money? Well I never..."
It appears that it costs £300 per car on average more to make a car in the UK rather than Paris (where a peasant labour force who strike a lot, do the work on the cheap despite their supposed workers might). A survey prior to closure confirmed that 136% of UK car buyers would rather save £300 on the price of a new Peugeot and let the French build them.
However like most car manufacturers, the work will eventually go to Eastern Europe or China, so the French will have to surrender up the work in the next few years (good job they know how to surrender).
[edit] Stinking French Management
Onions & Garlic, frogs legs, cheap red wine, no wonder the French smell. Peugeot's French management are clearly up their with the rest of the population. Peugeot must now not be bought by any non French people. You, yes You reading this, it is your duty to advise everyone you know, come into contact with, and all passers by for a year, that Peugeot cars are no longer an option. You may only buy a Peugeot if you cannot source a British designed, built and owned alternative. For your convieniance we have included a link to the largest such British company [1] now that TVR are Russian/closed. Failure to do this will result in a visit from The Axis Of Swivel. You have been warned.
