Stanley planes imported from the U.K. Are these better, worse, or the same as what I might buy
at a local borg under the Stanley name?

They're crap, just not quite as crap as the US ones. The bench planes
aren't as good as Record (old stock is still common), but Record's
block planes were shockingly bad.

#92s are OK though, and always were better than US Stanley.
