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.


Bush and Alba have been like that for years haven't they?

Of course Currys/Dixons went the other way with the Matsui + Saisho names.
Though my experiences with Matsui videos have always been positive, whereas
I'd not touch Bush and Alba kit.
