With respect to Dyson, he choose to locate some of his capacity overseas only after several atempts to expand his operations in Wiltshire were defeated by the planners egged-on by NIMBY locals.

Just stick to rosehip infusion (and beer)

Yeah that sounds like kicking a man while he’s down, Twinning’s now on the banned list in this house! I suppose Yorshire tea will be next? Anyone for a cup of yorkshireski?? 
Talking of tea isn’t Tetley tea owned by TATA?
