Quality from the UK is very poor.
We can't cast anything properly, or do it too much on the cheap.

The latest is the trams in B'ham had to be shut down, they keep cracking.
People too thick to realise that cast aluminium is too brittle to use for the wheel bogies and can't take the weight.
'proper' strength in steel too costly but corner cutting has bit them in the ass.
