Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Have DM moved their operations already? Last time I bought Docs, about a year ago, I think they were just about to start the process...

Not cool.

Afraid so, they are now made in Thailand I believe. Not surprisingly this is not emblazoned all over the box the way Made in England used to be.

Not that I want to deny anyone a living. But I try to buy things from countries where I think the workers might get a decent living wage and reasonable working conditions.

I was asking for that wasn't I? Touche (you'll have to imagine the accent on the e, I can't get my keyboard to do it).
