I was perhaps a little imprecise, there is still Far Eastern tat on the market (CE marked for “Chinese Export”!) which is quite capable of burning your house down, but the Chinese are now as technically capable as the very best in the West and the high value jobs to which Andy refers are as likely to be there as here. iPhones are made there, but for how much longer will they be “designed in California”? It would be easy to blame Thatcherism, but governments of every hue have kicked the can down the road for years, it’s probably too late now to fix it, and the loss of opportunity to be involved at the forefront of technology (space, Galileo, ITER...) resulting from Brexit will negatively affect prospects for generations. |

Too many years ago now and the wife's dead now and a normal family like us would have no chance. Ask me how I know this.
