Doesn't it just! I can't imagine lambs with jetlag make nice eating...

















I'll get my outdoor wearables

I was disappointed to find that quite a few bits of my Daytona are of far eastern origin. But most of it kept a British worker in a British job, so I'm pleased about that. The fact that the bike is far better than anything else in its class is a bonus.

I rarely buy Israeli goods because I don't like the way they treat Palestinians, but then I wouldn't buy Palestinian goods (can you buy anything Palestinian????) either cos of rocket attacks on Israel. I don't often buy anything of US manufacture cos I'm sorry to say that the quality in my experience is not up to European standards, although they are catching up fast.

And like Mr Speirs I try not to buy anything Chinese but that seems impossible nowadays.

how many thing in any house are actually made in the USA

Actually quite a lot. THey're pretty god at protecting their own manufacturing interests, and make considerably more than us (per head).


Mind you; Nulabour wanted everyone to have degrees and become administrative slaves. I certainly know in my last manufacturing company, there were more admin and management roles than actual manufacturing ones.

pops along to check the goods in my house

Do Isreal actually make anything useful?

(except maybe a few choice bits of hardware...)
