"Besides I don't think they make pots and pans out of exotic steels"
A wry comment, nothing more, Mr Okehampton.
Your comment on British steel sums up the situation perfectly - poor administration due to it being run down over twenty years for political reasons gave an excellent, world class product the reputation which you and those who ran the industry down describe as "crap"
British Steel, just like the rest of British manufacturing industry, was sacrificed to Mammon on the altar of profit - greed triumphed over quality and the workers who dedicated their lives carried the (probably shoddily made cheaply bought from abroad) can back.
You and yours seem to revel in denigrating British products

I take it you know the story of the man named Woodcock who came up on the football pools and changed his name to Okehampton!!
