>> People have no problem that they can buy a kettle for £5 that was made in China, but take issue withe the fact that manufacturing jobs are going to... China. Well, some people have a problem with that. Some people try to buy fair trade goods, and don't mind paying more for locally made items. But it's getting harder and harder to find an item that's not made in China. A few years ago I tried to find a blood pressure monitor that was made anywhere but China. No luck. The only choice I had was not to buy one at all, and that wouldn't work for me. I've experienced this problem time and again.
