Two years? Ugh. Still I hope this happens as soon as possible. I trust it means no more import duty if we're buying products from America? That would be welcome for a start even if, on a individual level, it accounts for little of the benefit that would come of such a deal.

You wonder why it's taken so long. US and EU would be a massive trading block.

Do we charge the Americans for all the actors, writers, directors and musicians we send over there? Surely we didn't charge them to take Piers Morgan.

Piers Morgan was only payback for Jerry Springer.

Kyle was the second installment. ;)

Anyway I see some natural justice in us exporting to them some of the dross they've sent over here. :)

If it is negotiated as I think it will be.
2014 free trade in safety pins
2015 free trade in paper clips
2016 free trade in cars
That the American way:D
