Being British
Anyone making a concerted effort to buy British now that we're in the poop?

Re: Being British
No. I have always made a conscious effort to not buy from China. Admittedly I do own some stuff from china but id rather have something that is going to last/work.

Re: Being British
Nope.
No more of an effort now than before anyway. I think we're only in the 'poop' because we act like we are, so i guess i'll just not change

Re: Being British
I haven't changed my buying habits at all. Wherever possible I try to buy British anyway, except in extreme cases when I know I can find something far superior from another country, but even then I am fussy about where my money goes.
In recent times I've deliberately gone out of my way to avoid buying anything made in Israel or the USA purely because of the amount of money USA is propping up the murderous ba5tards bombing Gaza with. In the past I've boycotted anything French when they've caused British suppliers to suffer financial hardship by burning lorry cargos. |

Re: Being British
I certainly always buy british food. It just seems so daft getting lamb flown in from New Zealand!
