Surely some mistake. There is no British steel anymore. Unless you are getting a one off from Sheffield Forgemasters or similar… and no steel is actually made from UK materials anymore. Sorry guv, you missed the boat.

interesting link – I did wonder about this when all sorts of metal was being nicked round here (street signs, drain grid covers etc) as scrap for the “Chinese” but had mistakenly assumed these Chinese were in somewhere like Sutton Coldfield instead of mainland China, and it got melted down up North and reused in Blighty.
I suppose I could make the case from China steel; then embed British small aggregate etc to it like some kind of medieval or middle ages contraption (or the rock thing that the Secret Intelligence Service left lying about in Russia to send and receive secret messages a few years back) but it would take ages, I’d feel a bit like a hipster doing that, I’d have to avoid blocking the ventilator holes and I think some of those minerals might be to some extent semiconductors that would only cause more RFI and act as a detector for all the rough PSU noise, defeating the object of the earthed enclosure.
That said, surely not all the components on the RPI are from Wales and it still “made in UK”?
