To be fair, if you live near Mauchline you probably still believe the world is flat 😉

this thread is stupid. British manufacturing is dead. Nothing is made in Britain any more.

My Mum says milkmen. They are unique, aren't they?

Thatched rooves are available in France apparently.

My Dad reckons cats-eye manufacture and installation.

Oh and my Mum FTW - the mistletoe industry. That's a job that no-one does anywhere else in the world.

One from me - black cabs? And how about bowler hats? Rounders bats and balls manufacture? UK number plate making? Marmite making?

My mum reckoned truncheons. I thought of something else too... but I forgot.

London Taxi drivers perhaps? The way they are trained perhaps makes them unique.

Good point! I love coming home from a trip and getting in the back of a black cab. Feels like home, feels safe, feels perfect.

Loads of dry stone walls in Spain, somehow doubt they import British builders to help them out.

Ah, but kilts are, by definition, Scottish. So can only be made in Scotland. Anywhere else they're skirts.
