The other forum  :8) loves them. The "Gold" is apparently a (good) copy of the Rio Gold. To be fair, the plentiful comments are almost universally supportive. Almost the only people against are on the grounds of intellectual theft and the need to support innovation etc.

I just wondered. These lines appeared in Amazon feed.  I have to say I'm struggling to grasp the concept of intellectual theft applying to a length of plastic coated string.   :lol:

Your right Fred that's all it is. Just like a thin plastic washing line.

On grounds of general abuse and the mass scale of Uighur genocide I try not to buy anything from a Chinese outfit. Not too easy to specifically exclude these international bully boys but where I know I can then I will.

Likewise the French..... !!  :shock: :shock:

By and large I agree Vaughan, sadly though it's very difficult to avoid Chinese stuff and often you don't know until you have bought it.

French stuff is easy to avoid though and it's something I have tried to do for the past 40 years. :lol:
