As for the Himalayan and Interceptor, well, sorry, patriots but that's what you should have been doing in the UK right now.

Being made in the UK soon... apparently... care of an Indian company.

assembled in the UK from imported ..... parts then.  I mean, from an economic point nothing else would make sense.

Like Triumph then?

As you say, that's global manufacturing in the 21st century, but ultimately, WGAF? The factories will build them in the most cost-advantageous place to themselves.
Not really anything to do with dirt-floor tin-bashing and it's incredibly dangerous working practices though. I see nothing praise-worthy with those poor unfortunates or the (usually scrap quality) parts they turn out.
That's the paradox of India though...they have a space programme and nuclear weapons but over half of the populace have never used a flush bog..

a flush bog..

Which reminds me. I've just visited Austria. Some of the toilet pans, including the one in our flat, have a platform for your poop to land on before you flush it down a hole at the front of the bowl. I believe this is to enable inspection of said poop, which may well be a very good idea with colon cancer in mind, but it scared the bejesus out of me when I turned round to press the cistern lever and was faced with a mahoosive smelly jobbie staring back up at me. Yikes!

I remember them fitted in Army bases in Germany in the 1960s. As you say, so those strange continentals can have a root through their big old Richards..

We may need to explain the use of 'Richard' there for our ex colonial readers. It's cockney rhyming slang; you know, like "Apples and Pears" for stairs. In this case it's "Richard the Third" for turd!

The RE Twins -Interceptor and GT - designed by poms in pommyland, built in India.
A large Aussie RE Dealer I know has had almost zero customer/warranty issues with them. They're well built and apparently bullet-proof ('scuse the pun).
I think we'd find more robots in the factory than palm trees!
