Places like Comet get British
sounding names put on things (Bush, etc) to make us thing we are buying a
British Brand.


Not at Comet The Bush and Alba brand names have recently been
purchased by Argos so that they can brand no-name, made in China,
electrical and electronic goods with a familiar name.

Many of the well known 'British' Hi-fi speakers brands are Chinese
owned and the speakers probably made in the factory
