So here is how it plays out.

[minestrone]

701 thousand tonnes of sea fish into the UK and abroad with a value of £936 million


£936,000,000 for
701,000 tonnes

£936,000,000 for
701,000,000 KG

£1.28 per kilogram?

[minestrone]

So just to clarify

Fishing is 0.1% of GDP not 0.5% and even if it were it would be 10 billion not 100 billion, but since it is not 0.5% but 0.1% it is more like 1-2 billion

Where did you get the 0.1% from?

Indeed 1 billion

So we're all in agreement.

yes, I seem to be able to buy a kilo of cod in Tesco for £1.33.

While you’re preparing your walkthrough on GDP, prepare a couple of slides on the difference between Wholesale and Retail.

GDP is turnover. The total sale price to the customer.

That's not fair. Humiliating minestrone intellectually is a bit like beating up a one-legged dwarf. Just not sporting.

Seriously? You seem to be suggesting that the retail price of fish sold by Tesco’s should be counted as fishing industry GDP? Is that right?

Is it not fish?

Yep with just enough time left for May to tell Parliament it's her deal or no deal. The proverbial gun to their head.

Though as we seem to be heading for a worldwide recession due to all the fake boom of the last 10 years ('no more boom and bust' ) due to money printing following the 'great financial crash', 2019 may be the best time to reset the trade deals from scratch while there is relatively little trade happening.
