      I buy the best, and seriously I can't think of anything British that is best.
      So fook British manufacturers, they need to shape up or ship out.

      HTH. Next.

        Here's a few of my favourites.

        Looks good, but sadly I don't have room for many stuffed lions!

            It amazes me how stupid the British people have become, must be something in the water supply owned by foreign companies, a conspiracy I say

            BTW, how can you be British yet come from 'north rhine westphalia'? Also, Darmstadt is in Hessen although as someone who has no knowledge of the world outside of the little island, its to be expected. Explains the Leave vote....
            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              Even Gieves and Hawkes is foreign owned

                EVERYTHING is foreign owned.

                It's about buying products that are made in the UK, which supports people working in the UK.

                It's not really that hard is it? But then again, this is the IT mentality, hence why is has gone offshore....

                  I always imagine someone who buys British as someone who drives around in an Austin Princess.

                    Stupid it's too strong but closed-minded yes.

                      Rolls-Royce cars are built by BMW, Bentleys are built by VW, Landrovers and Jaguar are built by Ford. The only truly British car on the road is the Austin Princess, built by British Leyland.

                      If you buy British you're not really buying British at all you're probably propping up the German economy.
