That's the kind of positive spin that TMGJ would usually offer up 🙂  - suggesting it might be an opportunity for this company to push the UK market and undercut dirty foreign cheeses, thus it actually being a positive, not a negative  

Hardly. If the agreement genuinely has an oversight and its not reciprocal, then its a fuck up. Simple.

Not beyond the wit of man to resolve. 

Wouldn't classify foreign cheese as Dirty neither. Just largely shite.

Ever ordered something off a menu at a restaurant that looked great, but 2 mouthfuls in realised its shit?

You saying you’d carry on eating it just to prove you always make the right decision?

Did you expect things would be sorted after 2 mouthfuls?

Unless you eat very slowly of course.

First mouthful tastes poor

Second mouthful just the same. Double checking.

Now, I can eat the rest and when the waiter asks, tell him it's fine. But I'd be eating shit and feeling a bit of a cunt just to save face for some bizarre reason.

Or

I tell them it's a bit shit, try again, but get a wriggle on because I'm hungry and paying for the privilege.

 

Now

Imagine if the menu had said "this is going to be a bit shit to start with, but once you've sent it back to the kitchen and we've put some salt on, it might improve, might not.

You'd have probably picked the fish. Happy, British fish obvs.

Whisper it! Nissan Sunderland. 

It's good news that the current jobs have been secured without a doubt, but even Nissan had to suspend one of their production lines last week, due to supply issues caused by port disruption didn't they? - although that's probably COVID related I reckon.

Although, I'm not sure when we were told of the benefits of Brexit, that keeping jobs we already had in place was high on the list of positives was it?

 

Anyway, long may it continue, because if Nissan ever did close, that would well and truly fuck the NE

You've not got the fork to your mouth yet in brexit time scale.

Maybe just placed the fork into the fish. 

You may be unsure by its aroma, but, like a child with an immature palette, its important that you try things. Typically more than once, or even twice, as shown by proper scientific research.

Vital not to make hasty decisions and judgements or you potentially limit yourself to a narrow diet of chips, beans and processed foods.

The rest of us meanwhile learn the benefits of time; a fine wine or whiskey given time to grow its depth and character rarely pleases a teenagers taste tastebud.

That meal was rank

I'll come back every Friday until I can eat it without heaving.

Michelin is just a tyre to you isn't it?

If you're fool enough to force yourself to keep eating rather than trying a little occasionally, to train your palette, then there's little hope.

Short termism; the folly of modern society desiring instant gratification. 

I'll send you some seeds: you can plant them, nurture them and enjoy the 'fruits of your labour' as the seasons yield the prize.

And if we're back in the stone age by then, at least you'll have a cauliflower to nourish yourself.

And someone once said that @Spiderwas the most eloquent poster

[Spider]

Most eloquent are Youri and Crawley. Pair of Russell Brand wannabe pig cunts.

Diver and I share a wallet-sapping prediliction for wines of a finer vintage.

I bet the rest of you think Blossom Hill is the height of sophistication.

 

Anyway, so far, Brexit is fucking rank and no amount of palate training is going to shift those Bulgarian trucks.

Hairy Bikers on now: they'll surely shed some light on to the trained Bulgarian palette.

In the meantime those charged with resolving these inevitable issues are doing so quietly and determinedly, despite the uproar rude of screeching arm wavers running around aimlessly like drunken flies in a late summer orchard.

Brexit is rank for you. 
 

hasn’t affected me one bit. For every you there is someone with the same position as me

then at opposite ends there’s Paul and sergeant suicide whom I cannot imagine won’t be long moving to the EU if he doesn’t top himself in the interim as life is so bad for some fisherman hundreds of miles away from Him

There is a new battery plant planned for Sunderland. 

 Anyhow they’ll be winners like the vaccine delivery )& losers,  but ultimately we are now back in control and it is what it is and it is what we voted for.

And all the goods in the supply chain my job is associated with come from the EU or China. Zero issues.

Every man for himself.

Good to see you’ve finally stopped that ridiculous stance of saying it’s “best for Britain”.

Its good for you (and I’m pleased you’re better off, honest).

Nope it was an ideological decision to vote leave for me, better or worse off played no part in my decision to vote leave.

What about all the new jobs and extra money for British producers from the Aldi deal ?

I note you fired off when that was announced on here.
