An illustration of the pride and commitment from the workforce which has now all been flushed away...

damn shame. I guess the country is in demand for cheaper lamps that last half the amount of time and supports labour in other countries. It makes my urine boil to think that all the good stuff used to come from Great Britain is now gone. Do we produce anything that is sold world wide that we are proud of?

The impact of this place was clearly felt here in Tasmania, over 12000Km away!!!!! Now, Chinese Crap.

I wonder how Thorn lighting went bust in USA. As I know GE Canada made Thorn tubes for North American market.
