Thing that are still made in the UK

[john75]

Trying to think of any goods that are still made in the UK ?

So far have come up with well Lotus cars and thats it.

- See the favourite sweets thread. Since my 3 year old has discovered Fry's Turkish Delight I can't get him to eat American Chocolate.

- Lots of cars (even though not owned by UK companies)

- Whisky!

- Beer!

- Some of the best bespoke clothing in the world

...and this is just a small list. I'm sure I could think of more.

Isn't the UK still the world leader in bespoke chassis and body work for open wheel racing around the world? IIRC, both CART and Indy Racing use UK facilities for that. Not so sure about F1...
