"Made in Britain" used to be a sign of quality in excellence and a lifetime guarantee.
After the demise of manufacturing in this country and with the experiences of the "Wobbly" bridge over the Thames, Portcullis House, the palace built for our Members of Parliament (which failed safety regulations on opening), and now the fiasco with the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain (with wrong leaves, water or too many visitors) that claim is now tarnished.
Of course, the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain in the true sense of the word is but a meandering stream with obstacles.
Quote: Oxford Dictionary: "Fountain: A decorative structure in a pool or lake from which a jet of water is pumped into the air."
-James Greed, Moulsecoomb
