China Syndrome

Tried to buy some 6x90 turbogold coach screws yesterday from my local Screwfix trade counter. None in stock. None at the warehouse for next day delivery. Tried 8x90 - none, 6 x 90 turbogold screws - none, various other sizes - all out of stock. Apparently the turbogold range and most others is made in China and the factories were all closed down a few weeks before the Olympic Games to help clear the smog..... An example of just not in time manufacturing? -- Rod Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious onset. Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed. www.thyromind.info www.thyroiduk.org www.altsupportthyroid.org |
