Halfinch 51 Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 doesnt anyone agree with what i say then? typical british..... how are things ever going to get better.... The people of Britain don't buy British, because it's generally overpriced and shite, Why would you want to buy something like that to help the British manufacturers? If it is good Quality for a reasonable price people will buy it, other countries manage to maurfacture good quality stuff, why can't we seem to? If i were to buy a new car tomorrow, what British one would you recommend? I rest my case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bitsa lurcher Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 we should only buy british that would cut down on foreign imports of eastern rubbish that is very valued point of interest the downside is not everyone can afford to be choosey with where there goods come from and there fore they will buy the cheapest .

jasper65 6 Posted May 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 perhaps the people of britain are to blame, i always try and buy british whenever i can.. but most people tend to buy the cheapest, and most often or not the cheapest is from the far east countries, the knock on effect to this is that the british manufacturers have got to try and cut they're prices, the effect of this is that the quality of the item goes dowen the pan, the only way i can see this country getting better is if we start supporting our OWN country for a change, lets forget about the other countries and start thinking about our own for a change, by buying imports you are contributing towards the downfall of our country, come on , lets all pull together and make this country a better place, we will never have a say in what the government dictates - but we have got our own brains when it comes to choice... what you think? have i got the wrong idea? or have i been brainwashed into thinking that british can be the best if we all pull together? Yep I agree but the problem now is two fold! people won't buy what is left of British Products because the Build and quality isnt there anymore. If the quality was up to standard then more people would be more Patriotic and purchase more British goods! the other problem is the UK price themselves out of the Market most of the time! these days you can buy the same thing Built in a asian country for less money which also probably lasts longer.... Just lately if I want quality I buy German.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes some people do have short memories. Typical input to the debate from a hardline tory view,not a hint of blame towards the party that everybody and their dog knew what they were guilty of in their last shot in power towards the folk that built this nation and put it on the map...the working class !! Shepp your welcomed to your opinion but why do you always have to be so sarcastic with your posts when you read something you dont agree with,dont get me wrong as i have said a few times on here before i have no time for the labour wanks but i dont buy into the opinion that your party are waiting in the wings to save the day...they f****d it up before and i have the opinion they can f**k it up again...........
