A packet of Tesco’s finest A4 copier paper.

Made in the US of all places.

There are almost no consumer products from America sold here - all I can think of is the Mustang which sells in small numbers, various Jeeps (ditto), Californian wine (expensive and so not a big seller) and occasional fruit and veg depending on the season.

The joys of living in a country with a strong and sustainable timber industry!

Putting them trees to use!

And killing our beautiful country.

Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing. > Demon-Xanth knows how to operate a street. 05/05/2017 at 15:51

And yet, when I lived in California a few years ago, our cheap copier paper came from Australia. The current stuff we’re using came from somewhere unusual, but I can’t find a box right now.

And the flapper in my toilet? Made in Colombia.

Yeah ... tell that to the Maine paper industry. It is a ghost of its former self.

That is quite random.

I do occasionally look to see where things are from and it’s amazing what we get and from where.
