Sanjay in Birmingham makes silver pendants and silver charms. The pendants

and they are probably good quality, but smith 7 son jewellers is 5005

sorry caps key is broken on ny chinese keyboard
your keyboard is trying to tell you something....
caps are a waste of space....they are totally redundant....
why no make proper keyboards without unnecessary waste?
Then one day, the UK and government agrees to drop tariffs on jewellery. The
UK market suddenly opens up to Lee and he rubs his hands in anticipation.
we already buy shedloads of jewellery from china in spite of the extra
duty,because the prices are so low
it's rubbish and it falls to pieces in5 minutes. i have to give so many
refunds on my imported stuff that i'm giving up selling most of it.
everything chinese i buy for personal use is rubbish. it looks ok but
falls to pieces so i have to buy another and another and another
9because nobody else makes it0 tons of plastic being discarded because
the innards are cheap and poorly made.
and it's not even cheap or non-branded stuff. the mouse and keyboard
that have just given up on me cost me forty quid and were microsoft
brand made in china. it's lasted 9 months. i have got through three sets
of cordless phones in two years. every day millions of people buy stuff
in poundland which looks ok but is rubbish. i bought a skipping rope
there for the kids, which was fantastic design, colour, lots of plastic.
they didn't get to use it once because the plastic collar hidden inside
that holds the rope in place looked like someone had formed it by
chewing a lump of plastic.
we cannot go on like this. we simply cannot bleat on about the end of
oil, global warming, carbon emissions, lack of landfill space, and then
import millions of tons of plastic crap which ends up chucked in the bin
inside a week.
that won't do china any good...the markets will decide chinese=crap...
recent finds of contaminants have 'lead' to american sourced toys
for those who don't want 'their' children poisoned in the great
demographic war....
It included China Rose Petal Tea, grown and blended in China, imported by
Taylors and packaged in Harrogate, before being exported back to China."
crazy. absolutely nuts. especially when we are all going to be told
through taxation and carbon credits etc that we must not be making any
unnecessary journeys.
you are confusing 'unnecessary journeys' with carbon releases....
with nuclear and solar power, carbon will steadily become a non-issue
meanwhile remember that china is exporting more than the uk....
so sending the shipping/planes back empty makes little sense....
i've no doubt the freight charges going east are presently
derisory...
