But...but...that's not good news. We're only writing good news or happy things on here.

Overseas buyers cancelling meat orders due to Brexit uncertainty - Farming Today

To support British manufacturing, I also bought 2 radios (delivered today) from JL.
A Roberts stream 93i (cd/bluetooth/internet) and a Ruark R1 MK3 . JL did a price match and reduced the Ruark by £20 ???
Later, in Guildford, I bought a jumpsuit. It'll be great in the summer with white pumps/trainers or my tan suede ankle-strap wedges. Guess how much it was. ?

Fair Trade bananas always seem to be more expensive, so the farmers of 'ordinary' ones probably aren't getting a good price st all. Or the non FT ones are being produced by huge agribusinesses with economies of scale and poorly paid workers.

There's a whole debate here about 'efficient' food production and the needs of people to be able to make a living. What price 'cheap food' if it is at the expense of the environment and individuals' wellbeing?

Don't be , buying bananas and grapes is keeping farmers in work in what are probably much poorer countries than ours.

I think that supermarkets must sell bananas as a 'loss-leader' because they are so cheap - at least I do hope that the farmer is getting a good price.

They're not wrapped in cellophane, they're just as you see in the photo, in a tray and put in a brown paper bag after purchase.

No, not at all MawBroon, locally grown and £3 for two trays.
Alas I can't say the same for the hand of bananas or the HUGE bunch of black grapes ?(only £2 per lb)
I shop for fresh fruit and veg there 3 times a week.

thank you urmston, I am so glad you started off this fun positive thread.
Most refreshing and exciting.

I feel so at home and appreciated.

Well done again

Henning Wehn, German comedian on QT who sensibly appreciates the utter futility of a second referendum.

“If two years ago you felt that the country was run by unelected European Union bureaucrats, well I don’t know what would have changed your opinion on that one over the past two years!”

So it's not only Brits with this view.

Mind you, May seems to be telling the EU we NEED a deal. Silly woman.

She'd be playing a much stronger hand if she told Tusk, "Come up with something in our interests by next Tuesday matey, or we are off." And mean it.

Gransnetters on this anti-EU thread would have put him straight by now.

Trump has many, many faults, (too many to list) but can you imagine him going back to Brussels time and time again with a begging bowl? He does put America first.

they'll just have chnged the flag on them they do taht with Scottish produce all the time,its marketed as British and with a Union Jack ......I wont buy it if its been defaced in this way ,its not fair to SCOTTISH farmers and producers

British raspberries in February ???

But surely these raspberries were grown in an EU country?

My good news (as a leaver) is that I have just bought the tastiest plumpest British raspberries from the 3 days a week fruit and veg stall in Godalming. They taste just like those I picked from the canes as a child.
Am-az-ing.

Hi andyC great you’ve joined our merry band - good to have you on board!

I’m only going to ignore those who post negative comments or try to engage in (ever depressing) Brexit debate.

GOOD NEWS on this forum will lift the spirits of us Leavers. If it’s on the news or in a newspaper come in and share it and you won’t even be asked for ‘links and evidence’.

Oh joyous isn’t it?

I am elated and happy

love this joyful and cheerful thread

There is no such thing as "the" EU, there are member states. The representatives are elected, unlike our unelected House of Lords. Why don't you criticise our own genuinely undemocratic institutions? In what way will your life be improved?

this is a great happiness thread

and so exciting to leave the unelected EU corrupt controlling scam

Perhaps these are the bad things they think the "evil" EU is responsible for

tompride.wordpress.com/2017/12/05/see-20-years-of-fake-news-about-eu-by-uk-press-vote-for-your-favourite-here/

be fab to leave and thrive being independent and great britain be in control of our great Nation.

Not dictated and being a vassal state of corrupt unelected EU demons

Andy, you keep referring to the EU as 'evil'. Could you please tell us how you, personally, have experienced this evilness?

If we don’t engage on THIS forum they will leave us in peace (perhaps) to enjoy sharing the positive aspects we get to hear about Brexit.

Definitely delusional if you think we're going to stay off this thread. We're all ears to hear about the positives.

yes, dear, we will celebrate when we become vassals of Trump- and industry and agriculture are decimated- all the unemployed will have lots of time on their hands to go out and celebrate, I'm sure.

very excited to exit EU. big celebrations soon

and straight into the vile hands of Trump and others - vassals rather than full partners at the top table - hurrah
