I think many people struggle to grasp the age-old concept of 'you get what you pay for'.
Global business. Being from The Potteries we saw it all go. My brother and his GF were in the pottery industry. It was well paid if you were skilled. Then came the redundancies and people had to retrain. Years later some staff around their fifties were dispersed into various companies to retrain them as part of a council scheme when one of the few remaining small pottery firms went. Some came to where I worked.
