The German pay for factory workers isn't so great, by the way. Income structure is more flat in Scandinavia, for instance; compared to Sweden and Finland, Germany has cheap factory labor cost. However, the main problem with British industries and collapse of some of them in 1970's was unionisation and political fighting. This included even outright sabotage, and of course abysmal build quality. My uncle had a Morris Marina, my father a Sunbeam Avenger. Never again a British car. British workers are OK as long as their overlords are Japanese or German. UK manufacturing value as such is not so bad, after all. The curve looks very much like any other Western country.
