thanks BC. I'll lodge a formal complaint about you and House of Colour if that is OK. I don't see how you running a UK franchise really fits the agenda

HoC only sells handmade jewelery at ARTE, which is made in Dubai. They are allowed to promote the main business only.

Next?

I think it goes against the spirit of the rules, even if there is compliance to the letter.

You're being very 'Mentalist' now...

Anyway, all our preserves are made here so we're totally compliant.

The stuff we bought for presents was all made here, soaps, little box thing, christmas decs, preserves etc.

The only thing I notice there that isn't made in DXB is the book stall, but I won't complain because it's cheap books
