In reply to evviva l-iskjavitù. If the salesgirl / salesboy doesn't know the basic details of the items for sale in the shop he works in, then there's something seriously wrong.

In reply to A V.

The solution is knowledge – knowledge of the product and the production company. I can easily give you half a dozen trusted brands for any product*, where no Chinese labour is used.

*Except computers. There, I’m afraid, everything is made and assembled in China.

Lino Spiteri even had two sides to life within his own home: literally concealing the luxurious part so that other Maltese mortals don’t see it.

These people have duplicity oozing out of every pore.

In reply to A V. Neapolitans, bless their inventive, have taken to fake Made in China. They'll also sell you sealed empty jam jars labelled aria di Napoli and will provide T-shirts with a printed seatbelt in any colour to match your car's.

Gahan, there are two large factories in Marsa alone. One is a retail outlet and the other is used as a store. This contravenes the conditions for use as factories.

This is Maltese opportunist politics at its worst. I used to get physically sick watching Joe Grima and Lino Spiteri on Net TV. Now this boy scout has cottoned on to what the Maltese electorate relish and the boot is on the other foot with Bondi and Co.

In reply to Bumblebee. You must be joking, have you forgotten the times when restricted import quotas could be bough. Sure Mr Spiteri could elaborate on the subject.
