Wait, as many places in detail not the least in the north, the foundation of Britain did not start out with the establishement of the Dutchy of Normandy by some viking dude? Got to recheck some history.

I'm afraid not my mercenary chum. Besides, you couldn't REALLY believe that a Frenchman would build something like Stonehenge? Carrying all that stone? Mind you it did take about 800 years to build so that's about average for a French tradesman

Faith is pretty much all we have when it comes to Brexit so it’s fitting that you believe faith rather than supply chains is all that is needed.

This is all starting to sound all a bit late Soviet Union. Let me know when Johnson publishes his little red book - sorry little blue lo.

No, with respect you completely miss the point I'm afraid. Soviet / Maoist economics would have looked to a centralised state solution to supply chain logistics. I'm proposing that decentralised capitalist greed, in this case the major supermarket chains will find a way.

Anyone else apart from the Chinese, Spanish, French and Jewish people?:-)

From our perspective: No issue giving it to the French, lest to speak about those bloody Spannish. Chinese you fucked over plenty enough already, and Jewish ... wait is that why you guys put Balfour there?

Do people really think we're going to run out of food because we are leaving a trading union?

Did they stop taking cash or something?

I’ve only just got over the stockpiling that took place before WWIII. It was murder getting a mungbean salad in The Heatons.

If I had a clue what he was talking about, I might.

I did find the good people of Belgium amongst the most courteous in Europe. They look at each other at roundabouts and say, ‘after you’ ‘no, after you’ ‘no I insist, after you’. Driving is very pleasant, it just takes time to get anywhere. Terrible at spelling though.

Anyway, back to the topic. Scottish whisky, is up there with Belgian beer as the absolutely finest alcoholic drink ever made by mans fair hand.

Well i was contemplating the potential logistical issue's of bringing in beverage's in the UK post Brexit, knowing from statistics that apparently the UK imports for example a billion liters of beer per year alone, i presume the figure for wine is not unimpressive neither. I presume were talking about a few hundredthousand truckrides per year to bring it all in, some i'd bet the worth of something like a few thousand trucks full of alcoholic beverages are passing over the border each day and i presume furthermore that stocks in Britain are limited besides perhaps that of whiskey which the Uk exports a lot of afcourse. I presume if trucks are held up a few days on the border that the country soon goes dry except that perhaps now there is also less whiskey exported so to become an attractive substitute. But perhaps Scotish producers of whiskey won't want to fill in the gap given that brexit arguably is bad for their bussiness.

Surely, Brexit will most likely be a pain where it regards the price of a pint, atleast for what regards a non British beverage. It's all to logical to slap a fair tarrif to it given that one could graduatly stimulate domestic production.

Well on that note I look forward to getting gouged on the price of milk and bread by my local Tesco’s as they declare themselves free of supply chains and rely on hooky produce from the newly independent state of Yorkshire. You guys really need to start ‘selling’ the benefits of Brexit because so far you are doing a shite job.

No. It’s like Alan Partridge talking to his Geordie chum.

Sentences can be short as well as long.
Use paragraphs.
Don’t run your words into each other.
Presume and perhaps can be overused.

Good lad.

Now to your theory, which (I think) is that disruption caused by Brexit will create shortages in imported wine and beer and will turn our ever resourceful English chums to the water of life (whisky).
Mate, they were there centuries ago as part of the general rape and pillage of Scotland’s bountiful assets. ;-)

I'm not about to give a speech at Oxford Union just yet.

And blessed be Partridge, he should give that speech.

The point is, you can spell it.

Lived in Belgium for a year.... way way back.
The right of way system on roads of equal importance around town, is different. Took a bit of getting used to.
Someone coming in from the right had right of way even though he is turning onto your road and you are going straight.
Very formal people, but made great friends there at the time.

I loved Belgium. Mind you, only stayed in Ypres and Bruges so maybe I got the best bits with the friendliest folk.
