sign of the times unfortunatley tis a shame

 

[The Pretender]

No worries.

Set up a new brand/company

Become successful

Flog to some rich foreigner for a handsome profit

It's just a form of exporting

Tis the same here in the US brought on by the global trade concept I'm afraid

I get soooooooo tired of trying find American goods to buy that don't have made in Mexico or China stamped on it .

I detest Chinese goods with a passion, they ignore all patten rules to produce an inferior copy of the origanal...There even counterfeit critical components and stamp a BS No on them...... sharks yet the governments are in bed with em..


As I wouldn't support the English football team I'm not patriotic, much better to decorate your car in Chinese Flags, then watch it on your Malaysian TV whilst plugged into the French Electric...
