I used to think Royal Crown Derby was great till I went on a factory tour and saw that most of it these days is just transfers - they just looked like a load of people putting the finishing touches to an Airfix kit. 

Brands to be proud of? 

  • Factories - not a brand as such but the first one was the Silk Mill. The owner got poisoned for it mind you.
  • Team Sky
  • Rolls Royve Aero Engines of course
  • Candy Crush
  • Lara Croft - Derby lass tha' knowz
  • The term 'derby', there'd be no 'massive Manchester derby' without Shrove football
  • We can be one twelfth proud of the whole football league

I'll stop there, if only there was a poem or something that could remind us of all the things we should be proud of as Derbains (? - never quite known what someone from Derby is actually called - used to go for Derbonian but I think this is the latest monicker).

Was fitting windows for a bloke who works at RR, he told me they work to the nearest thousandth of an inch, put him in his place telling him we work 'spot on'..

Factually incorrect post. You have used the term ' works ' for an employee of RR.
