hogmaw Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I was reading this thread and a few others and it appears that we don't make anything much here apart from carrots and guns. Please add to this list anything that we make in the UK that we're good at and can be proud of: 1. Crisps - I have yet to travel anywhere in the world that can rival our variety of flavours and quality of our crisps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I was reading this thread and a few others and it appears that we don't make anything much here apart from carrots and guns.

jevansio Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Horse Racing, British is leagues ahead, American, Australian, South American etc pale in comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I may be biased here but... Our Armed Forces. Envy of the world. Fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Isn't the most popular, or most respected gun in the world the AK47? (Waiting for a QI style burnout)... Its the most popular due to its price and ability to fire in any environment. You can bury it in sand, leave it, come back and it will fire Aint very accutate tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveR Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 only problem is there is not many of us left Ha ha! Fair one. There're more illegal immigrants entering Britain each year than there are soldiers in the Army. Nice, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 We're quite good at hi-fi kit. My Chord stuff is all made in the UK. Although I'm not a big fan of it, Naim is UK and very well respected among a lot of audiophiles. The speakers I'm currently listening to (home demo) are also UK.

hogmaw Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 OK I'm thinking more of the stuff we make here that we can flog to the rest of the world. To try and get us out of this recession. So far we have: 1. Crisps 2. Drivers 3. TV comedy 4. Premier League football 5. Guns 6. Soldiers 7. Hifi Anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
