    One of them is a pair of anti-chafe undies for us blokes - - quite a humorous, if a bit random, advert. The other I have seen is a fancy ice cream thing.

      Oh right sounds like we're on to a winner there then.
      No heavy industry, cars, electronics, etc. etc.

      Think we might be able to sell them more than they can sell us, seeing as we dont burn coal anymore.

                  From the beeb:

                  The UK had committed to introduce full import controls on EU goods in January.

                  But coronavirus has forced a rethink, with firms able to defer customs forms and tariff payments for six months and some physical checks delayed to July.

                  Business welcomed what ministers said was a "pragmatic and flexible" step.

                  But, in response, the EU said it would implement full checks on UK exports at the start of 2021.


                  Sounds like a dummy hitting the floor - after having been thrown out of a pram.

                  Yes Barney - we are leaving mate....

                        Good news - the deadline for an extension has passed - the UK/EU meeting to decide on an extension has taken place today - we said non mon ami.

                        Barney must be furious....

                            It was probably invented during the 100 year War, I think one of the French Army gave us the one fingered "salute":hate-shocked: so someone in the English Army went "one" better.:dunno::heehee:

                            I read somewhere that it derives from military bowmen - the same two fingers they use to draw back the bow string - meaning I'm going to shoot you with an arrow.
