    Made in Britain

    If the Cornish Pastie has protected status and has to be made in Cornwall then why doesn't the Mini have to be at least made in the UK? Apparently BMW have plans to manufacture them in Holland!
    Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

    Greggs were forced to rename their cornish pasties because they contained peas and carrots. Now simply called beef and vegetable pasty. the world has gone mad.

    Mini have confirmed the all new fully electric mini will be assembled in the uk, although the electric motors will be built elsewhere and imported....

    because the Mini is not called the UK Mini?

    The Germans will send it to the best place to manufacture.
    I had one made by British Leyland and it was a pile of crap.

    My only good British made motors have been Land Rover series 2A & 3.
    And a Range Rover.

    Fell running shoes to be given protected status. Must be manufactured in the U.K. or rebranded as trail shoes.
