I dont disagree that's why we all need to get on.

We as nation could not out gun Germany in 1939 . But we stood up to them.

Along with our allies

I quite like avocado with prawns, and the dressing from a thousand different islands.

I can't possibly breed prawns but I have spent time on the world's largest archipelago.

Where do I start?, high tariffs on agri products to protect French agriculture or closing borders to stop the legitimate export of vaccines. Really Notch?

Which agri products?

Let's see how EU tariffs compare to UK tariffs.

What do you want to compare? Lamb, beef.....

We used to house sit at a very nice property in Harare, the resident labrador sat under the avocado tree waiting for the fruit to drop and gobbled it up then spat out the stone

Not as clever as them Indonesian cat like things that shït it out... worth far more to the local economy.


Never the less very clever

Put lemon and a tiny bit of salt on the prawns before plating up and dousing in millennial - land surrounded by water - dressing.

Funnily enough we tend to mainly buy seasonally from the UK, but non seasonally from the EU as far as possible...

But then I guess you don't care about the food miles either?

I suspect it's been mentioned before, but the range in French supermarkets is, in terms of food miles, far less, again in terms of food miles, than that of a typical UK supermarket.
Invariably foodstuffs, especially vegetables, are sourced from France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, etc, rather than from thousands of miles away.
I find that in UK supermarkets, the reverse is true.
Maybe it's a 'climate and availability, situation. But I suspect there's more to it than that, and it's not just a customers' preference.
