??!!! Are you trying to claim that the EU can veto Britain's exports?No we can't! Any exports outside the EU have to be sanctioned by them & at a cost.

Until at least the 1990s the St Michael brand was pretty much exclusively a "Made in GB" brand - and advertised as such. It was diluted by imports, then this accelerated as the cheaper retailers hit the High Street. Interestingly, M&S (minus St Michael) have started to again buy British cloth. Harris and Yorkshire tweeds are again making steady inroads, which as a fan of tweed I think is a very good sign - even if most of my tweeds are secondhand.Even the likes of M&S were sourcing cheaper & cheaper products. My Sister in law worked as a buyer for them & regularly travelled to China & India, so it's not all the likes of Primark's fault.
Some of them being very good reasons. It made no sense at all (other than from the point of view of Empire, capitalism and profiteering) to ship Indian cotton to Manchester to ship back to India whilst suppressing the Indian cloth industry to protect the Lancashire mills.The death of the textile industry has been going on for nearly a 100 years. (for a few reasons)

I saw a while ago that they seem more focused on quality again.

Would you care to back that up with a reference article?No we can't! Any exports outside the EU have to be sanctioned by them & at a cost.
I'm hoping they withdraw our right to Brussels sprouts if we leaveIf we leave can we still use our Continental Quilts ?

Apologies, I was referring to trade deals when replying to gadgeteer who mentioned free trade deals within the EU.
Because the headline media is based around the "little islander" mindset, that Britain is "Great" and the rest of the world isn't relevant.No-one seems to be reporting what is happening in the EU, (say in France, Spain, Greece, Portugal and Italy) and the fundamentals of the EU, current and future prospects

We do have our saving spread across UK and EU accounts and have been balancing things up to minimise the risk, moving to Germany has been a prospect for several years. The Euro does have some serious problems, In or Out there's always the risk of blow-back if these problems trigger a collapse, the risk to the UK of a Euro collapse isn't much different whether we're In or Out of the EU. As long as they're a neighbour and trading partner there's a risk. We can't pull up the anchor and sail the island someplace else.
Right, so we are clear that the UK can, in fact, export to whomever it likes (subject, of course, to sanctions) without EU permission and that your comment to the contrary was tosh?
This confusion between exports and trade deals seems to be prevalent amongst the Brexit camp. I've lost track of how many times I've heard a Brexiter scoff that 'of course we'll still be able to buy French wine' as if that had ever been questioned.
That'd no great loss as far as I am concernedOf course we'll be able to buy French wine
Tesco's have a good supply of both, and both are superior IMOWe also might be able to buy Australian, South African,
Yes, but it's called democracy. The people who have voted us out have also voted to destroy our economy, and now it looks like we're going to get the government we deserve too...Sad Day

Yes, it seems to have recovered some of the loss after the initial shock but no wehere near what it was yesterday
Just wait until the market opens in the US of AYes, it seems to have recovered some of the loss after the initial shock but no wehere near what it was yesterday
For those who were on the side of the Remain camp or who voted Leave and are now shocked at the deceit of the people they supported, sign the government petition here: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215
I imagine it won't make much difference but can't hurt.
Currently down for maintenance ...
I imagine 48% of the population trying to get on there
Reminds me of a line from a Bond film... "He's dressed as a policeman now"Currently down for maintenance ...
Perhaps they didn't think that 52% of the country is terminally stupidMy biggest problem with the remain campaign (or more importantly the government remain campaign) was they never said what they would do if we chose to brexit. Other than an emergency budget (scare tactics), they didn't seem to have a plan to sort out the mess we would be in or at least didn't tell anyone what it was.

Why should they? It was for Leave to set out their vision for post-Brexit.My biggest problem with the remain campaign (or more importantly the government remain campaign) was they never said what they would do if we chose to brexit. Other than an emergency budget (scare tactics), they didn't seem to have a plan to sort out the mess we would be in or at least didn't tell anyone what it was.
How to alienate a possible 52% of the forum members in one sentence.
So whose terminally stupid?
