    I voted out, after these last couple of days, I am even more convinced that I made the right choice.

    The EU have disrespected Tes and have by extension disrespected the UK - the true colours of the EU are on display for all to see.

    I for one would be more than happy to see a no deal Brexit - I'll buy UK and then non EU goods - and only as a last resort turn to EU goods.

      I try to do that anyway but it's difficult. The car I just bought was made in China! :rolleyespink: :noidea: Most of my meat and veg is UK. I don't buy much else apart from household goods and petrol.

          I'm not sure if you can select the country of origin of most products sold these day, ok, might be possible when it comes to food, but manufactured goods often contain parts from all areas of the world.

            Ah, you are OK then @shiney - China isn't in the EU, and we are still on speaking terms with them :)

            If/When/Maybe I get the chance to get back behind the wheel, I have a hankering for an old Jag........

              Seriously! Have you ever driven one? Most of them got used for banger racing and there was a good reason for that.
              E-types are beautiful to look at but god awful to drive.
              Mk twos are lovely to look at, not bad (for the age) to drive but rot boxes or very expensive.

                I owned two! And not quite that old - not E-Type old, more XJ8 old, X308 or even X350 if the budget would allow.

                I am done with commuting by car, and to be honest I am done being taken for a ride every month to own a tupperware box on wheels - anything remotely nice is going to cost me much more than I am willing to pay. Therefore I am thinking more of something for the weekend that is nice to be in, and a bit different. It is all pie in the sky anyway - I couldn't afford a wheel nut right now, let alone a whole car.

                          So cars are most definitely included. :) Everything we buy and sell is a part of what it's about.

                            Even then you can't be sure it started in the uk, Some farmers buy in young calfs from the EU and some of the sperm to start a new life comes from the Netherlands
                            One farmer near here bought a herd of milkers from Denmark so is the milk British or Danish :scratch:;):snorky:
