Nothing a comfort blanket won't fix.

You can literally post any kind of subject on this forum and it denigrates into the same old crap.

I expect you mean 'degenerates'.

Not just the name, but also free from any restrictions on proper aging, etc.

Market forces will sort it out. Will the Great British Gammon be affected?

They'll always spell it with an 'e' as that is the way they spell it from their gaelic. They won't be able to call it Scotch though unless they do away with geographical indicators, which they will, because the USA wants to produce and sell Scotch, Stornoway Black Pudding, Cornish Pasties, etc.

Yep same way the US companies/banks has to comply with some EU regs if they need to trade with Europe

It all depends on the deals. If the USA wants a deal and part of that is we have to lower standards for other things then that's what will happen. Chlorinated chicken and beef full of steroids are just a couple of examples.

The EU won't want those things making their way across from the UK so thinking there will be no border checks is crazy.

The real reason we're having Brexit is because of the new regulations on money laundering and tax avoidance coming into force on 1st April. All the elites were fearful of losing a wee drop of their offshore stashes.

I tend to agree. We're still implementing EU directives on product conformity, etc, simply because we sell product in the EU. Any business that exports goods or services into the EU market will still need to comply with EU regulations.

I've done some Brexit work with a client who has offices in the UK & EU - typically splitting them into different parts if there is no deal.

A lot of stuff I've worked on over the last few years has been EU regulatory like Solvency II. I think after Brexit a lot of these regulations will go and there will be work to back them out.

Same here re reg work for the last 10 years. But avoided Brexit projects cuz I thought its a fad lol

What do you mean by back them out? You mean UK Regs equiv to EU?? But I am not sure, if the regs going to be the same, then by default all the clients who implemented the EU regs and made the required changes / reporting in the systems would be compliant.

You’re an anti-Semite as well as a racist and general bell-end.

He's also quite a specific bell-end across several narrow categories.

If there is a no deal, Ireland can start making and selling stilton.

And they'll be able to spell whisky correctly...

Ireland doesn't have the right cows, they need to be red, white, and blue. But if there's no deal, and geographical indicators are part of a deal, then I guess Ireland could make any old blue cheese and call it Stilton.

I better call the warehouse and ask them to extend the SKU material number range.
