I can walk into a BK restaurant anywhere in the world and know exactly what I'm eating. Same for Pizza Hut et al. I can buy a Sony walkman in Singapore, and have it repaired under guarantee in the UK I can buy a German BMW and have it serviced at a registered BMW garage in the UK. I can buy a DVD in the US, and play it on my DVD player in the UK ..... um....no skip that one :-) Anyway, there are advantages for the consumer; there are disadvantages too, but it's not as black and white as you're painting it. /Robert
