A big thank you to those who voted for Brexit

It'll be like only being able to buy a Lada...

You can have any car you want as long as it's a Nissan.

Nothing like cutting down on consumer choice...

Actually you could have a Toyota instead, they are still here at the moment too - although who knows for how long.

Actually MaizieD there is no such word as unapt, the word is inept which isn't really applicable to your comment, I suppose ignorance is bliss.

Try looking up the meaning of 'inept'

Myword, though not quite correct is actually just about right. Try looking up 'apt' and then its antonym, 'inapt'

Then blush.

Anyone reading my post can see that my mention of spitfires was in no way mocking said aeroplane or their pilots. Mocking the whole concept of Brexit and a festival yes. I think this is just a case of looking for something to be offended by. If you think Brexit is marvellous idea despite all the job losses, damage to businesses and divisions in the country then you are entitled to that opinion , but don’t make false accusations. As a member of a military family with losses in both world wars, I certainly would not denigrate anyone who fought in said wars, quite the opposite. I am the first to criticise those who bleat on about the British surviving the war so Brexit will be fine -I point out millions did not survive the world wars and do not make such comparisons!

I would think it is totally inappropriate to compare Brexit with wartime. Many are comparing Covid with wartime conditions but I don’t think that is right, either. My family were in the RAF and some of them were killed and died for their beliefs. Brexit is trivial compared with that and my only hope is that it doesn’t actually contribute to another European war because that would not be pretty. From a distance many of us thought the EU was a wonderful way of creating unity between the Europeans but clearly we were wrong. So sad.

It was one of the longest period of peace in Europe.

To what extent is buying a Lada or Toyota 'buying British'

is it a bit like British Bananas and Yorkshire Tea?

I didn’t think Ladas were made any more?
I think MaizieD was being ironic.

lol yes- so can you tell me which British car is still being made in the UK. I mean truly British - although evern those would have many foreign parts.

Who says 'we' were wrong? Many of us didn't think so- and the clear majority of us currently do not think so.

I think nanna8 lives in Australia, biba

We could grow our own tea, apparently it grows well here in the UK.

I’m not sure what the point you’re making about the cars is Biba, because most cars, wherever they are put together have parts that are made all over the world, not just UK/Europe?

Yes, of course- just in the context of the 'Buy British' movement- which I do support to a large extent in many ways, with a big 'but' ...

I guess if you’re rich and slightly eccentric you could buy a Morgan, but you’d have to go on a waiting list!

I had British grown tea in a hotel once Callistemon and it was delicious.
Sadly, like lots of other British things, it's way too expensive:

near us we have a farm with an old DB (David Brown) tractor- Not sure if Aston Martin are still made in the UK?

Aston Martin Lagonda are made a couple of miles from where I live - nice motors!

We sometimes see them being taken up and down the dual carriageway near us - once saw one broken down there too , which must have been embarrassing.
My best friends’s 94year old dad used to test drive them before delivery to clients taking them up the A1. It took him a while to live down scraping one on the side of a bridge.

I've ordered a few kilos NotSpaghetti, thank you for the link!

Ha ha Callistemon! I know!

?

Maybe I'll just sell the Austin Martin, trade it in for a "British" Nissan and stock up on tea leaves.

Tregothnan produce a specialist product. Like all specialist products around the world, it is expensive. The leaves are very rare and because of its quality it's been ranked high in the world.

It's nothing to do with the tea company being British.

Casdon Why eccentric to buy a Morgan? It's a unique car and yes expensive. They’re a sure-fire investment that’ll make you a fortune.

Apparently a 1988 E-reg Plus 4 that was £16,000 five years ago costs around £19,500 today. Worth waiting 6 months for. That's the current waiting time.

Muse we know this.
I was just having fun with Callistemon re British tea.

We usually buy Dorset tea, NotSpaghetti
