                All well and good but it was in the Express. NZ doesn't have agreements with Canada or the US.
                Anyway, positivity. The markets are going to be volatile for a good while so if you play it right and luck is on your side there is money to be made over the next couple of years.

                  It was in some proper newspapers too :)

                  It wasn't a great surprise that the leftie luvvies in the BBC have decided not to run this story.

                    A lot the our gardening equipment, especially irrigation supplies, are manufactured down in Australia and lots of NZ goods are also imported here. You don't have to have a trade agreement to trade! Yes, it's nice if the tariffs don't exist but somehow countries without trade agreements still import and export goods. Hmm, now I've got an urge for some Quality Street... :heehee:

                    Businesses will keep on buying and selling with or without worrying about blanket trade agreements. Thank goodness :)

                              They were very popular during the Great Depression as they helped people that were in dire straights. Not just the contestants but the audience got fed as well. :dbgrtmb:

                                There was a film made about the 30's dance marathons . Some of our GC "Barry Norman" film buffs may name it.
                                Why are we talking about dance marathons on a Brexit post :scratch::biggrin:
