I'm sure you're aware that BIs are made in the Philipines and that it's not expensive to make them there. What Thermochill's facing is the usual old problem. Though I admire Thermochill's persistence in keeping production in UK, the economic forces are working the other way. But then again, making products in China presents another set of problems.
