Ah but Swiss mis-spelling is immeasurably superior to Chinese. It isn't in any way indicative of contempt for their customers, nor is it the tip of an iceberg. Their cuckoo clocks work very well apparently.
They're Swiss...
You need to understand what that means....
How good is your Switzerduetsch?
To most people, I'd assumes it means that they (the people who wrote the text on the website) are Swiss nationls or they (the tools) are branded by a company based in Switzerland.
What does it mean to you?
And how does the nationality of a copywriter or a company in any way bolster your assertion that a transposition of two adjacent letters is indicative of counterfeit goods?
Fairly simple, really.
I know about Lamello products because I have and use them. They are specialist and non volumet product with a quality and precision that speaks for iself.
Spear and Jackson is a mass market product with a brand reputation. It might be reasonable to see a typo in an instruction book but not on a main product label. There are two possibilities with that:
a) Counterfeit
b) Brand has been sold sloppily to the Chinese with no controls.
Either a) or b) makes the product untenabe in the market.
You still haven't explained what "Swiss" means to you.
Is it reasonable to see a catalogue of errors on a website? I notice you've introduced the "typo in the instruction book" criterion but ignored the website that you like so much and which rather drags the rug out from under your theory.
You say that there are two possibilities for explaining a typo on a main product label. Is it possible that there's a third explanation and that someone simply slipped up on this one occasion? It is after all what you characterise as a typo. I realise you yourself would never commit a typo but out there in the grand sweep of humanity.....
Actually, I made an error in that last sentence, didn't I? I said that you'd never make a typo but in fact you made three. Does this mean you're counterfeit? Or have you been sold sloppily to the Chinese with no controls?
And in fact aren't you being rather sloppy yourself when you say "sold sloppily"? Did you mean the sloppy epithet to apply to the Chinese manufacturing rather than the transfer of assets overseas by Spear and Jackson's financial advisers?
Predominantly someone or something from, belonging to or made in Switzerland.
Who knows.
I don't like any web sites particularly.
Possible, but on a main product label of a mass market product.....
Quite possibly. However, I am not writing the text for product labeling.
I prefer to be paid.
Either or both - take your choice.
More likely Spear & Jackson are allowing Woollies to use the name for something they have nothing to do with. More proof, if it were needed, that a brand name doesn't mean much any more.
