    JPW I should have remembered that. JPW were so underated considering they make some brilliant stuff its a shame they have not been able to keep up with the likes of Mission and the new chineese owned Wharfdale.

    With regard to manufactering the UK car industry is now booming. It is apparantly the most highly favoured country in the world to build cars now due to good industrial relations and high efficiency. Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Pegouet, Rover, Ford, VW, General Motors all build cars here as well as companies I have probably forgot.

    It is a shame not much HIFI is made here anymore although I think some Pioneer CD players may be British made unless that factory has closed.

    Ford still make engines in Essex though although not cars. So have Vuaxhall completly pulled out of making cars in the UK now? Isn't Elsmere Port still there I thought they built the new Astra there?

    Surely not too many folks own those Chinese mass produced oil paintings? I can say for certain none of my paintings originated in the far east.

    not sure about elsmere port but i do know that the big factory(s) at luton went, taking varous other local small businesses with them a few years ago - much wailing and gnashing of teeth locally.
    cheers

    I don't get your meaning Mick Parry, sterile thread?

    Michaelab....forum suggestion, what about being able to combine quotes from multiple people in one thread? How tough to implement?

    Is this what you mean? Just open another window for each quote and then do a bit of cutting and pasting.

    Hi Ian (Data),

    I'll bear than in mind. But I prefer pub music quizes. I'm on a good roll at the moment. I have won 8 out of the last 10 I have entered. I finished runner up in the other 2.

    It does dosen't it. Samuel Johnson was a scottish company that made a pre & power combo. I don't think it was a big seller as Russ Andrews seems to have bought into the company. Have a look at the links below.
