A wee bit political?

      Blame "The Iron lady", AKA "Attila the Hen", AKA "Maggie" who, with her cronies, wanted UK to become a "Service industry."  Which is why, NOW, it's virtually impossible to find anything NOT "MADE IN CHINA".  I found some; NO not these.  Made in Mauritius, Designed in the UK, Made in Turkey, etc.
      From which it's a safe assumption the above examples are dated B C "Before Clowns."

      Gleaned from the wide blue yonder:-
"The biggest joke is that the originators of the drive towards privatisation – Keith Joseph and Margaret Thatcher – somehow convinced themselves that the future of the British economy lay with the development of "services".  Jim Prior, employment secretary in Thatcher's first cabinet, wrote of the Treasury ministers at the time: "None of them had any experience of running a whelk stall, let alone a decent-sized company.  Their attitude to manufacturing industry bordered on the contemptuous.  They shared the view of the other monetarists in the cabinet – that we were better suited as a nation to being a service economy and should no longer worry about production."
Decades later, a Conservative-led coalition has finally recognised the importance of manufacturing.  Manufacturing and services are interdependent, a kind of matrix. Modern economies need both.  But there has been much neglect, under governments of both main parties."

Better add - "This article is more than 9yr old."
"The 40-year Tory obsession with services has served no one William Keegan."
"This article is more than 9 years old."

Late entry:-
I'm about to don a pair of "Breeks".
A label inside tells me "Designed in the UK since 1965."
"Made in China" in 4-5 languages.
