Question, what British made* anything do people have in their house?

I have a lot to books printed in Britain. Especially St Ives and Suffolk, I think, though I haven't checked.

I have an internet radio from a company based in Lanark. But I do not know if it is made in Lanark ...
I have another internet radio from a company based in Cambridge. But I do not know if it is made in Cambridge ...
I have some knives and forks, and I've no doubt they're made from the finest Sheffield steel.

Actually I also have a CD player from a company boasting 'Great British sound', designed and engineered in London.
I do not know where it is made. But it's a piece of work I tell you. And not in a good way.

I had a Cornish wine yesterday. It was awful.
Do we even make electronic goods in this country? I would rather source mine from somewhere reputable like Taiwan.

Thinking about it, it is fairer to ask what British designed/originated stuff you have, as most things are manufactured in another country.

My Cambridge Audio CD payer is a shambles. It gets to the end of a CD and starts skipping, by which time I'm usually deep in the relaxation zone. It's driven me into the arms of Big Streaming.

Actually my speakers are also from a British company.
I did not realise this. It turns out I've been Backing Britain all this time.

I believe my Rega record player may actually be made in the UK.
Hmm.

In addition to some (Victorian and otherwise) furniture and light fittings, I also have a Dyson (*washes mouth out with soap*). My cooker is a Cannon and I have a Raleigh bike.
I also have a lot of books that were printed in Britain and several bottles of Scottish single malt.
Turns out my kettle and toaster are Australian (Breville). G'day!
