I am fed up with seeing products proudly labelled as British - only to find after close scrutiny of the small print on the label that it was, indeed, designed in Britain but that's it. The product is actually made in China or wherever, but not Britain.

China has been very cunning. They know that their own people prefer things made in the USA, so renamed one of its manufacturing cities. They named it Usa!! Then they could legitimately mark items as "MADE IN USA".
Last year we had a walnut fall over in a storm and thought it was a gonner. Come spring, and before a tree surgeon could get to it, it had produced leaves and flowers so we left it and even had some walnuts off it for the first time since we arrived here in 2016.

I bought some SBK root killer in the GC yesterday but was dismayed to see that it no longer had glyphosate in it. Has anybody tried the new stuff and does it actually work? It wasn't cheap. I bought it for one specific purpose to kill big ivy roots in a very narrow gap as I think they might be undermining our terrace wall.
