WATCHING television the other evening we were being asked to 'buy British', that way giving jobs to British workers.

Fair enough, I thought, I'll try to do that. Next morning I was about to take my blood pressure tablet. Checking what day was written on the pack I noticed MO, DI, MI, DO, FR, SA, SO. Funny weekdays I thought. Checking the Patient Information Leaflet I noted my tablets were made by Sankyo Pharma, Germany.

'Buy British'? Surely we could make these tablets, and provide work for British workers involving millions of pounds. – B. Probert, Lydney.
