You haven't scratched the surface yet. How about paid visits to european manufacturing plants. Including hotel rooms and wine and dine.

Sigh, it would be really helpful to get more honest reviews but I'm willing to bet anyone a dollar this doesn't change anything.

Great. Now we're gonna have to trust our own ears instead of being influenced and groomed. What has the world come to?

All the best,
