    I know it's not quite the same way round, but Pure make some of John Lewis' radios, and Linsar/Avtex make their tvs.

    Radios - GOOD

    TVs - AVOID!

    The thing about Samsung making parts for sony's VCRs/DVD/HDD recorders is probably still true, but with advanced technology on those devices, it's worth remembering that the software plays a large part in how well they work.

    For last year's Samsung recorders, the software was created by a third party and they're hideously unreliable, while sony's work a treat.

    It's extremely common. Better known as franchising!

    Wicks sell their "own brand" Moffat cookers which are actually made by Zanussi Electrolux.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    Happens in clothes too. IIRC Tommy H pants for example are made by Jockey :)
