[quote user="ganeshkualalumpur"]UK manufacturers still got loads of pride and integrity. Don't even bother with ebay. [/quote]
A bit naive and perhaps true in some instances but I've worked in a company producing sat/digi receivers and believe me what I saw would make the hairs on your neck stand up. I vowed then that I would never buy a product from that company, ever. These days standards and quality control have to be high for a manufacturer to survive. A lot of products coming from the far east are very well built and have design input from the UK.

I agree. The worst-built/finished product we've tested in the past year was made in the UK, sadly.
Quality has far more to do with the ethos of a company, and its QC processes, than where it's based/where it manufactures.
