yes, I once saw a bumper sticker on an MG saying: "All The Parts Falling
Off This Car Were Made by British Craftsmen"

also, the story on this side of the pond was that the Russians asked the
British for a large consignment of condoms during WW II, they specified 14
inches long, the various ministers asked Churchill what they should do, his
answer was: "Send them the condoms, but be sure they are all marked 'Made
in Great Britiain, Size Medium'"
