I suspect that the phrase "Made in England" really ought to have been "Assembled in England"

Around that time many UK manufacturers used that ploy to make people buy their products.
In the 70's a campaign was launched, called "I'm Backing Britain". It caught on like wildfire and sales of British products soared.
We even bought a Creda Tumble Dryer because it was plastered with these labels: "Best Of British" & "We're Backing Britain".. However, a year later, the dryer stopped working so I took the cover off & saw the motor which had this label: "Made In Germany" !!!
