We have a Catch 22 situation. Manufacturers are always going to go for the cheapest option by way of production. The standard of living in places like China and India is very low, hence wages are low, and thus production costs. If you produce a widget and charge 5p for it, and I can make the same widget and charge 3p for it, I will very soon put you out of business.

However willing the workforce in this country, we cannot work for the same wages as someone in a less-developed country - we would not survive.

Find the way out ... if there is one.
