Some corporate cant was claiming how it (burberry) can be made better and
cheaper in china or eastern europe...

I definitely dispute their claim it will be better quality,
but cheaper perhaps.

Well, that definitely proves nothing.

All that oriental detail and quality which Hornby wanted - the anoraks love
the real-
wire piping and photo-etched con-rods (don't ask) - has done wonders for
sales.'

So... what does that prove? Does not prove it could not have been done
here... just that they could not be bothered to pay to tool up to do it
here.... they would rather invest less get more return and *** the
british worker... and employ workers under conditions in china (or
elsewhere) that would be unacceptable here...
