When I saw the headline, I assumed to Brussels, but he wants to give more pwer to Scotland.

Worked well so far........

You just don’t get it do you? Scotland wants to control its own finances, laws, trading agreements and has a sovereign right to do so free from the shackles of the corrupt Westminster regime.

Of course I get it

Not working well for Scotland, though

Oh, and if/when sovereign wants to give it Brussels.

When you say “Scotland wants to”, do you have data to support?

Difficult to overstate the size of the spanner this variant has thrown into the works

The last fifteen polls have shown a majority in Scotland would like independence, and the last majority shows growth in this view (58 for/42 against).

We've just spent 5 years at war with each other, devalued the £ by 20%, savaged our economy, quit the world's largest free trade zone, created a mountain of red tape & flushed £200bn down the drain to 'control our borders'. 6 EU states just did it in 24 hours with a press release

Scotland doesn’t. A proportion of its population may do of course as is their rightful opinion.

On the bright side, Brexit has come early.

The 52% should be dancing in the streets now we are separated properly from those greasy Europeans.

Leave the panic buying to the scaredy cat remainers

People should have just simply bought  12-18 months worth of supply earlier this year, and put it in their warehouses  -  they've only themselves to blame

True

I'm currently in the process of buying 100 fathoms of petrol. Won't catch me paying £1.50 a litre in 2022.

Joking apart, don't you wish you lived in the world of the simpletons who think it's really easy to just forward order, months in advance, specialist parts/products and store them on your shelf  - especially when the pricing can be very, very volatile at the best of times 😀

It's not their fault. Mounts thinks you can just forward order complex steel products and the metal exchanges, production limits, transport, landed costs, exchange rates and market volatility are just something that exist on page 34 of the Times.

I know fuck all about roofing, so would never challenge Miami on how that business operates. I would lose an argument against him, and I wouldn't want to spoil my flawless record.

As I say, if it's that simple, try ordering 5 years worth of fuel up front.

Go on.

Haha, what flawless record is this ? Cast your mind back Tito, silly deluded little drunk.

Flawless. Like a rare diamond.

You told me to fuck off on one occasion :-) 

Always a sign the chequered flag has fallen.

Where's me steel?

The EU did all the things you said "we" have done in just 24 hours. Impressive. 

Or just comparing an apple with a building site for effect?

If you have a machine requiring hundreds of potential parts/spares it would be impossible to cover every eventuality. Simpletons is about right.

What have global prices and indeed raw materials got to do with brexit?

Are you saying such factors only affect the UK?

Put the bottle away, too early.

You'd better cast your tiny one track mind back to when I first used the name Tito for you....have a look lad if you were that pissed you can't remember. Buttler smashed you everywhere, remember ?

Your steel ? Fuck all to do with me son, my concern is my own supplies, which are all sorted thank you very much.

Good day to you and Merry Christmas x

Glad you ask.

I checked with the Czechs on this

Seems their uplift is in the 4-6% region.

Everyone had a pop at me (us) for not forward ordering - this is one of the situations that arise when demand is likely to peak because of a huge change in circumstances. Profiteering.

Raw materials have indeed gone up - we increase our prices on 1/1/21 by 7% as a result.

The other 13% is a very grey area.

Everyone takes the mick out of my other half for stocking up (think it comes from a pretty poor background and the thought of not being over stocked with food fills her with dread) anyway, our garage is wall to wall with dried food and tinned stuff, jars etc since this virus began. We've got enough to sink a bloody battleship

With your track record, your name and the word simpleton go together like a hinge and bracket.

I don't remember, so it didn't happen.

Well done on your forward ordering, I hope your suppliers are agreeable and have given you good payment terms.

One of the issues we have in the metal market is that a £16million "forward order" would have different implications, which I have discussed at length.
