Re: "Brit vacuum-cleaner maker Dyson"
MADE in Malaysia. OEM'd by V.S. Industry Berhad.
Well you can thank the British government for that, with their cr@p headed approach to energy policy, business rates, payroll taxation etc etc.
Dyson did try for years to make the cleaners in this country, and it is simply too expensive, but if you want to run a manufacturing business you're not welcome in Britain.
