If you saw me out and about, and thought, I'd buy him a pint, well you can below, it massively helps me stay as independent as possible https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wanderingturnip (I also will never turn down a real pint if you see me out...)
My brand new series, which is the counter part to my Death of the High Street series. I am going to be going on a journey all over Britain looking at products that are still made here, in the fight against cheap imported goods.
We all know that online shopping is one of the main killers of our towns and cities and I feel the only thing I can really do whilst highlighting those problems, is to showcase and celebrate the industry and crasftspeople we still have left.
This first episode was with a fine furniture maker from Wensleydale. It was amazing to see how he has carved a career whilst up against the giants of mass production. I also loved that all the tools he was using were made in Britain, some being over 100 years old.
If you make something in Britain, get in touch with me and lets make a video together. My email is [email protected]. Or if you know of someone or an industry that does stille exist, send it my way.
