Amazon Germany have an English version now which will be cheaper for us to order from and i have been told Quicker :barscarf:

No red tape or checks and tariffs. They might even have :roll: Tassimo coffee pods DB.
I won't hear a bad word about Tassimo Barry. :box: :lol:

I never drank coffee in my life. I did use to drink about 5 or 6 cans of Blue Bear (like Red Bull but more caffeine) a day in work and my kidneys were fucking screaming at me. So my missus bought a Tassimo to "ease me off the bongo juice and onto coffee" and I fucking love their coffee. 8)

Reminds me of a cute story about my daughter. She's two months away from her 17th birthday now and very down to earth but I never tire of reminding her of how posh she was at the age of 6. :wink:

I went to the shop to get her and her mom some pain au chocolat and returned with chocolate croissants. My little princess thought this the funniest shit she'd ever heard or seen. She would regale her aunts and uncles and grandparents with the tale of "mommy do you remember that time we sent daddy for pain au chocolat and brought back chocolate croissants?! Haha Haha haha!" :lol: :wink:

You cannot beat a locally produced sausage, but British jobs for British workers mean that we are facing culling thousands of pigs in the UK because there are no British butchers available to prepare the meat for cold storage/supermarkets.

So what do we do 10 months after Brexit, yes offer temporary visas to Europeans so they can come in and do the jobs we won't do. And this is nothing to do with covid.

I just hope there isn't a shortage of pigs in blankets this Christmas, now that would be a disaster.

I won't say I didn't tell you so about agriculture/farming, but I did!

Get yourself ready to a new alternative to pigs in blankets...shrimp in blankets, coming to a Morrisons near you.
Over the last 10 years, training for butchers at most large supermarkets has been culled. Therefore, it's not an attractive job. Getting trained butchers to work at manufacturing plants is difficult as they are more skilled than just being meat cutters. It's like asking Messi to turnout for your Sunday pub team.
Problems we are facing now aren't entirely down to Brexit, it's been the neglectful decline by large corporations to actually train people to a skilled level, so they don't have to pay them a skilled wage.
Added to the increase in political veganism, why are farmers breeding pigs in large quantities? Are we going to witness the battle between animal rights campaigners against veganism/ environmental campaigners.

A major part of the Brexit that many people voted for was the chance to reset the way things were handled in the country for the people . This of course was largely ignored by those in opposition to the idea that were doing alright .
As a country our political masters ( Tories ) have largely wasted 5 years in trying to leave the E.U without upsetting their paymasters and trying to keep their feet in two camps.
Because of this It was a bad deal and problems from it are arriving and just as many remainers are feeling let down , most Brexit supporters feel betrayed as well .

Given my recent experiences of dealing with UK imports/ exports, Brexit has totally fucked it up. Whilst it's still vibrant to the economy, the red tape, controls and costs have escalated beyond initial estimates. The courier companies driving up costs, has probably contributed to the increase in food and goods prices, making a nice tidy profit for themselves, passing the costs onto traders and individuals.
My political stance on the EU hasn't changed, but the deal, and I use the word deal loosely, Boris agreed is a complete shambles and farce.

Think this needs to be revisited. Brexit is going well isn't it lads?

Of course, the Conservatives will tell you it's the war and COVID!

We came out of lockdown before any other G7 country but are looking down a big fat barrel. All my comments about inflation and the economic impact on this country are within the bowels of this discussion, not forgetting higher interest rates.

Well, it looks like the birds have come home to roost!
