The bit in this update about trying to get manufacturing in this country is appalling. In electronics manufacturing, because the cost of basic manufacture can be 85% parts to 15% labour, or even less labour, the cost saving in cheaper labour rates abroad are not the most significant reasons for manufacturing abroad. The less manufacturing done in the UK, the less the manufacturing "agility", long lead times, lack of capacity etc. but to then tax what we have got to our disadvantage is crazy. Maggie's vision of us all making a living by taking in each others washing is at hand.http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/509 Gordon
