Gagagran - what a great party! 
Greatnan Yes Dyson shifted his manufacturing to Malaysia but he still employs a large number of design and development folk here. A large number. All highly paid.
We live in the real world. No rose-tinted spectacles please. If he choice was between shifting manufacture or going under, which do you think he should have done? And reduced profitability can lead to bankrupt companies. I don't like it either but it's how capitalism works.
Anyway this thread was about tastiness, not morality. I'm not sure I want everyone at my do to be thoroughly moral! [devilish emoticon]

Yes the one who had to launch his Dyson in Japan as no manufacturer or distributor would handle his product in the UK, as it would disturb the valuable market for replacement dust bags. Dirt bags! 
C'mon let's stick up for the over 50s. Who are your heart-throbs. Let's say over 50. Preferably well over. And alive!
For me:
Helen Mirren
Albert Finney
Charlotte Rampling
Joan Bakewell
Clive James (I hope he's still alive!)
Anthony Hopkins
Felicity Kendal
Harry Belafonte (he doesn't need to sing)
James Dyson (Designer)
Richard Rogers (Architect)
Now that would be the basis for a fun party! Now where's that thread on favourite cocktail recipes?
I live a sheltered life But nobody controls what goes on in my head; certainly I don't!
