Just a little rant! Why do all table lamps now seem to come with

Shops realised that most people won't pay for things made in the
UK, so you are stuck with what's made elsewhere in the world.

Yes, save that they are making UK-specific gear because of the
requirement for a factory-fitted plug. But that's non-optional,
whilst substituting a BC holder would be.
