LETTER: Keep buying British

Eureka! I actually bought an electrical item made in the UK.
My second purchase of a lamp from IKEA was made in India.
It’s going to be a good year, keep looking and buy British when ever possible.
Do not be fooled by products emblazoned with the Union Flag, like Russell Hobbs and Bayliss & Harding products – they are more likely to be made in China than the UK.
