Are you saying that the opportunities to do those things exist for everyone in third world countries?

I’m saying these opportunities can exist.

The future prosperity of billions of people rests on your decision – no pressure.

That’s the responsibility of the Chinese govt. They have plenty money to do so if they wish.

Seconding Barbour, my favourite winter coats by far. You can even send them back in for reproofing and repairs, creating a Trigger’s broom coat that should last you forever.

cheers all, i’ll look into the barbour options, i like the look of them anyway so that helps!

where’s the challenge?

Have you tried it kev?

ok so blow it. i’m sticking with what i’ve got. had an email from barbour this morning saying that the coats i’ve been looking at aren’t made in the uk.
if i ever NEED a new coat i’m going to get one made. b*gger. either that or buy second hand as the carbon footprint is tiny…….or do i just turn a blind eye to it all and buy from the far east? no resist the call of the new and shiny.
cheers for your help all.
