Totally as the man said being a British product still attracts a premium.

Wool jumpers from Scotland / Wales Steel from Sheffield.

The Spanish say we're having the Canadian model. Although I thought we weren't allowed migration control and lots of tariff free (not everything) trade.

Harks back to the M&S USP. Just like Aston, Rolls Royce, etc. We need to focus on hand-built, quality products rather than mass production. Yes, we've got Nissan up in Sunderland and the like, but for UK brands, a focus on quality rather than trying to compete with Asian imports is the key.

Tregothnan Estate in Cornwall is the first and only one of its kind in the UK
100 acres of evergreen tropical plant thrive on the banks of the River Fal
China is the largest producer in the world, making 2.2 million tons per year

He emphasises the word ‘fine’ and likens the blends produced by the big brands — using as many as 35 different types of tea — to cheap supermarket whisky.

By contrast, Tregothnan offers the equivalent of a single malt in its ‘Fresh Plucked’ tea, made entirely from leaves on the estate which are picked in the afternoon and dispatched the same night for an astonishing £92.50 per 2.5 grams, just enough to make a pot for two.
