We cant complain that we have too many poor quality jobs in the UK then, that's what you get if you prefer to buy cheap Chineese products.

Think it stems from big business preferring the opportunities of higher profit margins available from cheap labour rates...

I remember my Dad telling me he stopped eating Bratwurst in 1943.
His house stopped getting bombed shortly afterwards.

Same goes for any of the 'major worldwide' businesses/manufacturers... They are trading on their, often historical, made in the 'home' market image of 'quality' workmanship but now using modern manufacturing methods located in the cheapest regions [for labour]… A bit of a con and probably not sustainable...
