Quite interesting, although I wouldn't fancy the job of punching holes all day near the beginning, looks a bit repetitive. :rolleyes:
Fascinating, looks very labour intensive though.

But somehow quite laid back. Don't think it's piecework somehow....
:D :D :D never seen anything more boring!!!!
still better than TV though!!
My God, do they need to reinvest or what! What a mind numbing job for those poor guys who have to do it all day, no wonder they are so expensive. An interesting film though.
However, and I’ve been banging on about these things, but they are brilliant, go to:-

and see how you can make your own, for free; it’s more powerful than my trangia, more fun and all in three minutes.

Exactly what I thought, looks like a 1970's film of British Leyland. I thought at first that they need to mechanise all those "...pick this up, put it there, press that button, remove it and put it over there" jobs. But I think in reality, Trangia problably dont make the kind of profits necessary to invest that kind of cash in mechanised production lines. I bet the company sits slap into that "betwixt and between" gap, where the old labour intensive presses and mills are looking very expensive, but full mechanisation isn't an optiopn.
Well at least they haven’t moved production to the Far East to make the money, so you have to respect them for continuing to invest in their local community. A lesson that much of our industry should have learnt, sadly they didn’t.
What’s this got to do with whittling and grit in your brew!

A good thing is that the company is still owned by the same family that started it.
