Quite!

You can't get much more British than Blackpool!!!

As a contrast - Rotel (big Japanese HiFi company) have been owned by Bowers & Wilkins Loudspeakers for a while now... They're a truly British company based in Worthing!! So - many things are not quite what they apear from the outside!

Think the rules are based on what percentage of the components are made in the UK.

Like "all these bolts and the oil was made in britain, thats 60% of the weight. It must be british!"

Makes sense!
