I also think that we need to get used to more repairing and also buying second hand as these really cut down on environmental impact and also help us to save money.
I have noticed that many overseas manufacturers have identified that demand for cheap and low quality products is dwindling in many countries (mainly more developed countries) and are improving their quality too.
But this all puts British manufacturers on a more level playing field in terms of price as overseas manufacturers have increased costs once they start using better materials and more thorough processes. Also the cost of sending products as well as taxes means that the future looks bright for British manufacturers.
