Car leather - my home village is famous...
I just found out that I live about 100 metres away from a leather company which makes leather for Lincoln, Volvo, Saab, Vauxhaul (or "Opal"), Austin Martin, Mercedes and I think, but I can't remember, also maybe Audi. And more than that I think too.
And they made the leather for the first every production car (Model T Ford)
Apparently they are the biggest leather company in the world. And I live so close to it. I am looking at it through my bedroom window right now.
And they also power my whole village by burning all the waste.
Amazing or what.
EDIT: oh yea, here is the site for it with information about it. Some interesting stuff in there.
My house is in that big pic at the left on that home page. How awesome is that.
