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.
