something different....iam a chairmaker living in britains furniture town ,high wycombe,traditional wooden framed chairs,since i left school in 79,used to make for the domestic market but moved to commercial/office furniture 16 yrs ago.....was earning good money years ago,not so good now as too many imports at a fraction of the price......14 years till i retire and i doubt if i`ll be in the same industry
Coz you'll be in the bike trailer industry by then Red
Being serious...we are all to blame.....but at our own cost eventually
.......i got my missus one of those 70's egg pod swivelly thingys...about £600, nice red upholstery., fibreglass shell, swivel base....lovely.........a month later she is in it and the pigeon shit weld from China gave way & she came tumbling off the base
.
So i kicks off..bla bla......gets a replacement.....replica iconic Poet Sofa.......2 months later......our pals are sat on it........foccin leg snaps off & they tumble onto the floor
.........got my foccin money back....i sit on the floor now
You get what you pay for but some of this shit isnt that much cheaper considering the dramatic drop in quality
