Well, What the Bloody 'ell Did They Expect ?

Birmingham's world-famous gun maker Webley and Scott has folded, ending 200 years of proud Midland industrial tradition...The closure of Webley and Scott marks another hammer blow for the Midlands' manufacturing heritage.

Webley and Scott's revolvers were used by General Custer and also featured in Sherlock Holmes.
Smother it...

Smother it...

Smother it...

Keep smothering...

OH MY WORD, IT'S DEAD!!!

Crikey! Who could have possibly foreseen that eliminating its domestic market would have an adverse effect on a business?

Pretty much sums up the good ole Brit mentality. Close a local firm allow sales from foreign ones.
