Thanks to The Register, here is a nice graph of the decline of manufacturing in the UK since 1945. You'll notice one small problem with the "decline" bit.
Aerospace equipment, pharmaceuticals, defence equipment, cars (cars made in the UK by Japanese companies still count as UK manufacturing), TVs (ditto), etc.
Thats pretty awesome. I think the UK also makes a lot of Buses. Even some Chassis' are UK Built. IN think its only Derby now that makes Trains, for Bombardier. Thats a a real shame.
