Re: Hunter Green Wellies

yes...they based their success on these new brightly coloured wellies (that are most funky =) )...but some of us actually _need_ wellies and Hunter used to produce high quality ones using a unique method for extra water tightness _and_ all production was in the UK...They now charge the same prices but have moved production to...China I think...and they fall apart really quickly because they make them the same way as all the others and they're CRAP.

Slightly irrelevant, I know, but really, I hate when this sort of a thing happens. Are we _trying_ to give all our industry away? And what happened to quality not quantity? And making a living instead being rich bastards? (hail tesco on that one =O )
