That's Capitalism, Graeme! Always chases the cheapest labour. Ship building moved from UK to Japan to Korea to China. Hardly a British seaman afloat nowadays. All days gone by and no point hankering after them, sadly.
I bet most mobility scooters are made in China! A hell of a lot of the trusted brand Japanese electronic goods are. And the consumers are no better than the Capitalists who left UK - we buy the goods that are made in China because - yes, you know it - they are cheaper.
Edit: Your chemist can give you a couple of days worth of drugs in anticipation of the repeat Px arriving. Up to four days, I think my chemist told me. You are looking at forty-eight hours plus the weekend.
