  A jig saw puzzle I bought while away, of 1950s products, many of which are still around today. But how many, if at all, are still 100% british?

  
  Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

  Question is Colin, how many were then? I can see some Procter & Gamble and Lever Brothers products there, and they definitely weren't British then. I might be mistaken but I thought Nabisco and Quaker were also Yankee companies.

  Thank you Sid/Howard, and there`s me thinking that everything was always owned by us in those far off days. So nothing has changed then?
