Made in Britain.

If it was made in Britain

Then it would be the best.

Because we did things proper

And out-did all the rest.

The good old British workman

Took a pride in all he did

Could turn his hand to anything

And do as he was bid

We manufactured lots of things

And sent them round the globe

Those three words stamped upon them

Made sure that they were sold.

Made in Britain it said

Proud as proud could be

A guarantee of quality

Then sent across the sea.

[sassy59]

Made in Britain used to be a very special mark

Quality assured, none of this seconds lark

Goods for each and every room

Kitchenette to diner

But then we went and spoilt it all

And got everything from China!

Thank you Don xxxx😘

China from China, disgraceful. Aye, it's a different world now.

[sassy59 in reply to Hidden]

You’re not wrong. Xxxx

M & S used to be proud to be made in Britain but now most of their stuff is made overseas. The prices haven't come down though... x

[Hidden in reply to hypercat54]

There was a time when every article of clothing I wore came from Marks and Spenser. (Why do the call everything by it's initials these days?) 🤔

[hypercat54 in reply to Hidden]

I don't know D x

Loved the ditty. How true. Keep ‘em coming Don. Thanks 🙏

Do you remember Bruce Forsyth’s ‘I’m backing Britain’ song? I wish we could have a buy British campaign again.

[Ergendl in reply to Croydonia]

Can't we just start one, and use the power of the media to get it going?

[Hidden in reply to Ergendl]

I doubt the media would be much help. They seemed happy that we now go abroad for our royal babies. 🙄

[Hidden in reply to Croydonia]

So do I. 👍 nostalgiacentral.com/pop-cu...

[hypercat54 in reply to Croydonia]

I wish I could afford to buy British! x

Spot on Don here in Oz everything in made in China. So many industries gone over seas even the iconic Holden car, the factorie closed recently. Sad hey.

[Hidden in reply to kpm346]

Good heavens! I remember Holden cars from many many years ago. They must have done well to have kept going for so long.

Everything now is down to greed,hence the reason its so cheaply made and with that we have become a throw away society. Made in Britain used to be the best in the world, its so sad x

[Hidden in reply to Izb1]

I vaguely remember that we are not allowed to mark things 'Made in Britain' anymore.

[Izb1 in reply to Hidden]

Im glad we dont now Don, it would probably fall to pieces and I wouldnt be proud of it anymore x

[Hidden in reply to Izb1]

Another good ode, Don. What has happened to the wonderful skills we had in this country? Made in Britain meant it was good. xx Moy

[Hacienda in reply to MoyB]

So True Hun, What has happened to this Country. Too many Greedy People sucking the integrity out of Great Britain.

[Hidden in reply to MoyB]

When I was born

According to my Mum

I had 'Made in Britain'

Stamped across my bum

[MoyB in reply to Hidden]

Just shows how good you must have been.

The best baby boy she'd ever seen!

xx Moy

[hypercat54]

I had British lion stamped on mine

That's why I like to dine. x

The beginning of the end. Though I had a Morris Marina Estate that pulled my first caravan with family and two Labradors many thousands of miles. 😄
