Ironically some china made in China has become almost unsellable because, having been commissioned for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, something's been lost in translation.

11,000 cups and saucers have been printed with Platinum Jubblee. Souvenir sellers are now trying to offload them as 'limited edition' collectors items. The stuff of Del Boy's dreams. Lovely Jubbly.

Very sad that we had to go to China for things like this. In fact, it's almost a case of what isn't made in China. I'm typing this on a tablet made in China. Most of the Christmas presents our grandchildren unwrapped were too.

What item of yours surprised you by being made in China? It's scary how dominant China's manufacturing has become.

Be afraid......be very afraid.

 


Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

I wouldn’t say 11,000 is limited.

Covid may have origins in China.

Certainly my Lateral Flow Test kits came from there

 


I disengage, I turn the page.

Shame that wasn't a limited edition too!

Its a tough life making those T-shirts & trainers for the Wealthy West.

Reminds me of my holiday wallet. Dedicated to Pooh Bear. have not, so far, thought of Del-boy. A Pook bear wallet is instantly recognisable.
