Brexit and power to the people

Because I thought all the Tories would be in there, as they don't have a Conservative Club for cheap beer. He met the Tories in an ice cream parlour.

ps I wish we had one of those, sounds lovely
but fattening

Quite a lot of them up here, Jalima. There's even an American one in Seaham.
Most are Italian in the seaside towns.

Wales has nice Italian ones too - even in shopping malls now.

Did you watch the Victorian Slum tonight?
It was Brexit 110 years earlier. Foreigners coming in taking our jobs and houses.

After Brexit the anti-immigration will be moaning about the rest if the world coming here. That's if there's jobs to come to..

Gone quiet on here no mention of David Davis putting Clegg, Starmer, Miliband and a few others in their place.

Did he?

Commentators I saw said he had nothing new to say.

I saw the interview too. I wouldn't call it 'putting them in their place'. It was bluster and hot air. What's their place anyway? They're democratically elected MPs in parliament. They have a right to know what's going on and have some input.

What do you think the government is hiding, magpie? Why wouldn't they want to be more transparent? Would it have anything to do with not guaranteeing workers rights, etc?

I forgot to mention also the ghastly Emily Thornberry and the snivelling bunch of SNPs. They just want to derail Brexit. Well Brexit is going to happen and I have faith in the PM and her team.

Than goodness somebody believes in them. I think they have difficulty sometimes in believing why they are there and what they will be able to achieve themselves. It's a bit like Alice they have to believe at least one impossible thing everyday.

Yet another tragic effect of Brexit- first Marmite and then

LOL - thank goodness our Toblerones in Switzerland will remain the same at last one bit of good news for us x

Oh no I've just thought will Brexit result in higher prices for Belgian and Swiss chocolate? Should I contact Theresa and demand it is written into any agreement that chocolate prices must remain the same? Did the leavers realise this might happen?

I keep reminding people that we have found the pound rate in a similar position in 2008/2009 but we had the bankers to blame then and now some blame Brexit.

Did Toblerone, Walkers, Marmight costs become an issue in 2008/2009 when the pound rates were lower than as of today? I can't remember.

'Pound slips below Euro'
• £20 buys only €18 at UK exchange

I think we as buyers in the UK have been well aware of our 'shrinking' bars of chocolates way before the Referendum result to be honest. I also believe that Store Brands will thrive and eventually the bigger brands will loose revenue because they are passing on the costs of the fall of the pound to the consumer , sometimes raising the cost and making the product smaller.

Will Toblerone, Marmight, Walkers reduce the price or make their products bigger if the pound rises. Hmmm

I'd heard it was to make it easier for us weak Brits to break off each triangle, granjura.

Or helping us to retain our teeth

It's oversweet and hard to bite into......I prefer Maltesers.

Agreed- we only buy the black version- original far too sweet.
You are supposed to break it up - not bite into it ;)

Oh, so I lost my teeth for nothing then?

It's painful to eat. Why would anyone want to eat chocolate that hurts you?

When I worked in Thailand Toblerone was the only decent chocolate I could get, and only then at the duty free shop on the Malaysian border. I also bought dry martini there. Both had to last me a month. Except they didn't.

If you're dedicated enough you can work out a painless way to eat it ?

When I was small my older brother told me that the taste of Toblerone was like licking an ashtray so I tried it - the ashtray, not Toblerone.

I asked on the 8th

"Will Toblerone, Marmight, Walkers reduce the price or make their products bigger if the pound rises. Hmmm"

The pound has risen and we at least should have 2 pyramids back. Perhaps they could have a 'rates' bag attached to the bar and if the pound goes up or down they could put in how many pyramids make up the loss or gain.

We could of course as consumers have Toblerexit or Marmexit.

That's the problem, we never get more in the good times, do we?
I like Marmite on toast but am happy to have Toblerexit.
