“What a suprise - was the recession not on when Wedgwoods was bought ? Getting a bit of a get out clause isn't it now. Don't really think there is actually much production going on at any Wedgwood factory at the moment so it's going to be interesting when it's announced what's happeing in August / whenever they get around to it.”
