That factory would have been shut down in a heart beat by UK Factory Inspectors. So many dodgy issues to list, no wonder we can't compete with companies abroad! :shock:

We do still have the same companies like this, but with H&S and supply costs, they can't compete with China or indian. UK companies have so much red tape to get through. It is a shame, as we were the manufacturer that ran the world.
