Made in Britain
Has anyone else seen this BBC2 TV programme? We have downloaded it and watched the first part last night.
The first episode looks at the UK economy and demonstrates that we are still manufacturing, but in a different way to many years ago. Subsequent programmes focus on British innovation and the rise of the service industry. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0125v5k Well worth watchng if you like interesting, factual programmes. |

The link makes a connection, but 'Not available in your area' is emblazoned across the screen. Same when I try with Hotspot and VPN - Any suggestions?

Re: Made in Britain
Quite interesting, though a shameless attempt of the BBC to boost the national spirit surely. I mean, look at our great achievements...problem however, we don't have cash. lol

Re: Made in Britain
It’s depressing, the program might work better if it was “Made in Germany/Japan/China”.
There are people making amazing bespoke engineering type things in the UK but companies never get past a certain size because they’ll never find the backing or right people to make a go of it. It's always a risk, people would prefer to work for a bigger and more stable company or "invest" spare cash in their house :(. Truly the UK is still a nation of small minded bankers, shop keepers and estate agents producing little of any value. Quite content with their mediocrity as well now, no burning ambition for change but just that abject indifference while lurking on past memories. I love the UK but it’s one of the main reasons I left the damn place ;). |

It makes a pleasant change to some positivity. The UK will never be the major manuacturer that it once was, but all is not lost (despite the naysayers - here and elsewhere :rolleyes: ) and we can still do some things well, albeit in a smaller and specialist scale.
