SLX is it made in England?

Hi,

Been using SLX for a while now. Excellent pole. Wondering where it is made? Because carbon fibre is expensive to make!

I remember one of Alex's competitors trying to wind him up once ,saying he knew where his poles were made.  I think Alex said parts come from several different countries? as in... I doubt very much you do know!  ;D

You may find that they are made in cornwall. The cornish have convinced themselves that they are a whole different country to England.
if it is dirty it is fair game

No, the brushes are from Switerland; Basle, in fact.
You must have heard of the Basle Brush.

Is the Basle Brush Fawlty ... er faulty, Gerry?

...

Anyway everyone knows how SLX's and Extreme's get here.

Lovely Hi-Modulus (Hi-Malc) carbon tubes are being sent to Quebec, Canada from Switzerland via France so that lightweight rafts can be made for all the drowning polar bears.

Then those wicked Cornish Wreckers (posing as humble gardeners with one eye) murder the lighthousekeepers, put up false lights and lure the sailors onto the rocks. Then they wreck the ship, steal the tubes and flog them to Alex and his evil cronies who make them into wfp poles.

BE WARNED! EVERY TIME YOU BUY AN SLX A POLAR BEAR CUB DIES WHEN ITS ICE FLOE MELTS!
It's a game of three halves!
