A question about markings

I have just thought of something and I am confused!

If smurfs originate from Belgium, and Schleich are a German company, why do the markings say W. Germany or Germany and not l'Allemagne or Deutschland?

Why do things from Hong Kong say "Made in Hong Kong" and not #^'ยด#`.\ :)

No idea Karen, I am still trying to figure out why the markings on Dyar say Made In Backseat Of Toyota?

Dyar...oh what a feeling it will be to finally figure that one out.

:D

Are those markings on your butt or feet? :o Maybe Mrs. Dyar needs to flip you over and check :-?

When Karen first asked this question I thought "OMG I don't know" but I suppose as the smurfs were always being produced for many countries it was easier to make all the markings in one language right from the start to make life a bit easier. :-?

Hubby suggested to me quite recently that I should have Peyo, Schleich, Made in Wales tattooed on one of my feet and a coloured dot! What is more worrying was I actually thought it was rather a good idea at the time! :cheer:

I still think it's a great idea Rachel. I wonder what Mrs Dyar would think of that idea?.....I am sure she would think Made A Mess would be more apt for me though.

LOL poor Drew! That's probably already branded on you somewhere but you just haven't found it yet!

P.S. I like how you automatically use "i" in place of "y" now LOL :D
