For future reference, which cars are those?

Needed a new washing machine a few months back. Would happily have paid
a little extra for a UK-manufactured one (providing it wasn't crap), to
help our economy rather than our balance of trade deficit. But there are
none. Last to leave UK seems to have been Hotpoint's factory (and with
my previous Hotpoint lasting about 25 years, spares being very cheap
and easy to obtain, I would have been happy with another).


Where are Dysons made now, most stores seem to be giving discounts on
them
25% off at curry when trading in etc..,

Maybe a VAT of 10% on goods made in the UK might be an idea.
