ugg used to be a generic name for sheepskin boots in australia.

15 years ago a friend came back from there and said ooh they are lovely i should start up an import business. we laughed at their elephantine feet. oops.

I read that UGGs are made in china with Australian sheepskin...but don't know if thats true.

The Crackfox..are yours real uggs? Did you buy them off a website or from a 'proper' shop a la John Lewis?

Mine say "Ugg Australia" on the label inside the boot but no "Made in ...".

Suspect China though...

Ugg Australia (the trendy brand) is an American company, not Australian. The company just copied the idea and ran with it.
Most of the boots are made in China though. Of course, they are an American company and want to make as large a profit as possible.

Ugg boots are just an Ozzy term and you can find better quality boots than Ugg Australia on some Australian sites.

If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
