Well no, those of us whose budget only allows the purchase of a UKP9.99
Britannia or a UKP99.99 Britannia miss out and those companies who might
produce said model within our budget range are discouraged due to the
existing product.

After that comes Africa, then Europe, then the USa!
Not to worry, you will still be able to afford NZ lamb and Polynesian
handwoven coconut palm table place mats
I've got a better idea - you're in the trade and have the contacts and the
credibility - why don't you ask Hornby to contract their manufacturing to
Peco. Or ask Peco to offer a new range in competition with Hornby.
When you get a straight answer from either, you can inform us all, and we
can stop the endless futile speculation!

Why on earth would a company do that. Their sole motivation should be to
make money. Any company that uses the phrase 'pass on savings' is just
trying to fool you with marketing.

Dont forget in reality the jury is still out on if we (humans) are a serious
contributor to global warming and even if the globe is warming.
Just cos its fashionable it doesnt mean its right.
Nope, not going to duck or cover and its too warm in here for my coat.

John returned about six of my emails to make a sale - that puts him at
least in the "whose guiding force is medium term profit" category!

Eh? You asked if there was an alternative to sourcing in China and all I
said was that Peco do so quite successfully, so don't try putting words into
my mouth.
There are other options than China, which is why India's economy is also
booming, and no doubt if someone can persuade the African continent to work
rather than believe the world owed it a living then there might be some
mileage in developing production there too.
I'm also of the opinion than the UK is slipping towards becoming a third
world economy and soon it might be economical to restart production here. I
believe Hornby are now doing just that with Airfix plastic construction
kits.
Read the above, I think it's straight enough.

LOL - I agree entirely with those sentiments, global warming is a fact, it's
been happening for millions of years. Bear in mind that the UK has been
totally covered in ice on at least two occasions, and has warmed up between
and since.
In my humble opinion global warming is another of those government ruses to
justify additional taxation. Anyone realise that all this recycling of
rubbish idealism actually uses considerable amounts of energy and adds to
global warming?
John.
If any government was REALLY serious about global warming, CO2 emissions
etc they would immediately close down all airports and ban flying except
by military aircraft.
It's a bit like deciding that an economic disaster is REALLY happening
when the bookies & pubs start to close down.
And as recently as 10000 years ago (= 1/2 life of tiddy-oggie) there
were sub-saharan conditions in what is now London.
And Termites generate more CO2 than all of mankind...
Doesn't look good for the Truthiness of Al Gore.

and how are they going to get to the conferences to discuss the crisis - do
the military have enough planes or can they convert one of the mothballed
frigates into a cruise ship ?

No, in "my world" manufacturers will be free to decide who is fit to sell
their products without interference from the state just as they were before
1962.

Of course there is. We could rent orphans from the workhouse like the 19th
century watchmakers did. The kids will go blind before they're 12 but who
cares?

Shareholders won't get a look-in, the middle management will cream it all
off for themselves. They're like a creeping plague, gradually choking the
lifeblood out of the country.
