Like Wallace and Gromit but instead of cheese it’s biscuits.

  • I know a couple of people who said they didn’t know what to vote for so voted for the default, which they thought was to leave.

    Some other old person said he doesn’t like immigrants (or specifically people of a certain skin colour) and wants back gold top milk (which apparently the EU took away…).

    Somebody else saying they don’t want Brussels telling us what to do and we need our fishing rights back. Also immigration.

    My future, my son’s future, all now shaped in a more restrictive way because of people’s views like this.

    Ironically for the old racist man we now have less white Europeans immigrants as before and more from Africa and India regions, at least in the area I live. I love it how it’s backfired on him.




  • I work for a food manufacturer which used to sell 40% of made good to the EU. I say used to. The added costs has meant we have to increase sale prices which when selling to companies like Carrefour means they just refuse when they can source the same product on the EU for less.

    The type of food we make (non animal except for honey and milk) aren’t really imported into the UK. The sales to UK haven’t really been affected. The business is struggling to break even.

    I think the company will survive but it means making big changes in ways not done before to increase sales to the UK market. Interesting times…

    For the last few years we go on holiday to Wales and stay in the ‘nothing’ zone. I don’t get how people live there without going insane. Lovely to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there.

    We stayed at a campsite once which promoted being off the grid, the facilities were actually the best over ever seen. To get a phone signal it was 15min drive away. Off the grid was nice but planning the next day events was a bit difficult. Kind of shows how reliant we are on technology for basic map reading. Not sure how I feel about that.
