The boss of General Motors in Europe says the company will not close any factories on this side of the Atlantic "unless an asteroid hits the earth".
GM Europe president Carl-Peter Forster said "If the world stops tomorrow, no cars are sold and an asteroid hits the Earth and it is dark for the next 10 years. That is the environment where we would have to consider plant shutdowns."
That will be good news for Vauxhall workers at Ellesmere Port who have been in fear of their jobs since the giant carmaker announced that it may run out of money early next year.
And bad news for those people who say never tempt fate. Oh dear, what's that bright light in the sky?
