    If British farmers cannot persuade people to buy lamb from a few miles away rather than literally the farthest reaches of the globe, something is seriously wrong. British lamb is wonderful...
    Nah Welsh lamb is really wonderful, more meaty. If we can't produce it or differentiate via quality then how do they expect to survive in a global market.

    Brexit Britons will be eating bugs, not lamb or even mice.

    As fears mount over the environmental impact of the agricultural system, entrepreneurs are rushing to develop new ways to feed the planet’s growing population. Insects are rich in protein and other essential nutrients and can be reared at scale with minimal environmental impact.

    I don't think that was what I was going to say. More in the terms of free movement and them coming on their own.

    If you want to hear the offensive part that I was thinking: English women are not particularly recognised for their looks, they might have a good personality, more down to earth, elegance but not good looks. There are of course some counter examples.

    You can't see that in London of course because a good part of population is migrant but once all the 'au pairs', spanish waitress stop coming ...

    Beauty is one of the few fine things in life, now you cannot comment upon it because conversation is a minefield. Imagine painters and poets spending all their life praising beauty and now.... oh you can't say that sir, it's offensive.


    And I am sure the above does not apply to LM, I think I've seen some comments on this forum regarding her fetching looks.

    This is a long subject, I am sure I've blabbed quite a lot on it. But overall, yes, I am not keen on starting work again if it means only affording to pay bills. And that is what permi salaries get's you in London and surrounding area.

    I understand Benedorm is off table for now but you shouldn't take your frustration on the 'foreiners'... it was your own government that did this.

    And it could have been a lot worse, you all people could have been digging ditches and doing all the work. Imagine that. Flipping hell all that work even raises the hair on my back even thinking of it.
