 Those days only disappeared for a short while, in the 1970s.  Don’t believe the hype; the UK’s manufacturing output may be relatively smaller than other sectors of the economy now than 50 years ago but that’s for a variety of reasons, most of them quite positive.  Go have a quick read of this:

The UK is one of the top 10 manufacturing economies of the world.  I think that still fits the definition of ‘a true world manufacturing great’.
