[QUOTE="Kapnismologist, post: 59019, member: 487"] Something is rotten in Denmark: Just saw on SF that apparently Stanwell production is to be outsourced to parts unknown. 17 jobs will be lost as the pipes will no longer be made there: [url=http://www.dr.dk/Regioner/Sjaelland/Nyheder/Ringsted/2009/06/03/151111.h]http://www.dr.dk/Regioner/Sjaelland/Nyheder/Ringsted/2009/06/03/151111.h[/url] The above link is in Danish (sorry!, but if you know any Swedish or even some German you should be able to get the jist of it - basically, it says that because sales have dropped so dramatically over the past years the plant is closing and the brand will be outsourced to a foreign country, and that this leaves individual high-grade carvers as the only pipe-producers in the country). I am sure that some of the Danish guys in the other pipe forums will have more to say on this. The first guy to leave a comment on the story, Lars, says: Nej nej nej nej nej. Det er en tragedie! "No, no, no, no, no. That is a tragedy!" [/QUOTE]
