MF the world was a different place, China was not a manufacturing country, a bit of stuff was coming through Hong Kong but I can't recall seeing anything with "Made in China" on it, now it is hard to find anything without that written on it. Once that wave started we ended up awash with everything as well as stores selling 90% Chinese products such as Bunnings and this then slowly wiped out all the other stores that had been household names for generations selling all the Victa type store brand products
