  Al Jazeera know that Dover is Britain's front line. Good on them!
  I'm not too sure if London Fancy Box Factory actually speaks English: I was told they spoke in mono-syllables to the workers as the vast majority did not understand a coherent phrase.
  That was 3 years ago, perhaps things have changed there now. Who knows?

  interesting that al -jazerra didn't use library pics of the seafront, fortifications etc but took the trouble to speak to the council leader, businesspeople and a trade unionist to get all round views.

  Alex, how did the workers know where they were working in monosyllabic terms?
  
  At least the fundamentals of the organisation can be conveyed by the word 'box'?
  
  Maybe the polysyllabic elements of the company are just superfluous?
  
  Perhaps a rebrand?
  
  'Kent Great Box Firm'? ...or even just 'Kent Great Box' - A winning set of initials?

  I was told so by someone who worked there, Darren.
  The line-leaders would say one word to a worker, while gesticulating with a finger. They wouldn't speak in phrases.
  It annoyed the English and Scottish workers there, as the habit did not make exceptions.
  Apparently, two English lads just stopped working, exclaimed an unmentionable word and both walked out.
  
  Whether things have meanwhile changed, I couldn't say.
