aland,
sorry, i have no experience. I do take your point but I have to acknowledge that many products are made in the far east and are as good if not better than the home grown variety. Commercialism and globalisation are bed-fellows that might be the demise of local industry. Unless perhaps they follow companies like Dyson and simply pack up and go! I wouldnt be so quick to denounce some far east electrical products, especially where they are legitimately meeting international, european and british standards. Afterall, as sparks we are entitled to take advantage of commercial opportunities just like the next guy!
