I certainly don’t feel threatened by the lefties from the guardian. And calling them lefties is not childish.

My turn for question time... I don’t understand the need why you keep saying ‘cheers Dave’ at the end of every post, but there you go. (Here’s a tip, get a signature that does it for you.)

it's a lot nicer signature than your usual sign off Mick.

Cheers

I don’t care how my sign offs look, here’s another....

Back on topic.

I would use an automatic signature if adding 'Cheers Dave' to what's already there didn't fall fowl of the 4 line automatic signiture rule - increase the maximum line count and I'll happily automate it. That's why I type it every time.

So I take it you don't think calling them 'crappy leftie, vomit inducing' is even slightly childish?

Regards

Dave

But then I guess this isn't a forum with close links to newspapers in general or the guardian in particular

Erm, that is totally misleading to bring that here. Paul is on about people using Vomit Media instead of Virgin Media, this has nothing to do with me using the words ‘vomit inducing’, nor is it childish.

This will be the last time I say back on topic, unless people actually want a forum break?!?!

.Fishermen from the Cornish port of Newlyn were among the most spirited Brexiters.

As Britain tries to negotiate a two-year transition agreement with Brussels that is supposed to provide a smooth path for industry after the country leaves the EU next year, its fishermen fear they may be getting a raw deal.

The arrangement proposed by Brussels would leave the UK in the EU’s common fisheries policy for at least the next two years but without a seat at the table to defend its interests in crucial negotiations. Its fishermen say they would be at the whim of rivals from France and Spain, for example, when it comes time to divvy up catch quotas and agree regulations.

It's a shame such enthusiastic Brexit supporters are now realising the practical reality. A privileged few might benefit, the majority won't.
(sorry for posting from the 'lefty vomit inducing 'Financial Times' ...)

The Financial Times is one of the most reasonable rational newspapers and there ain't many of those..

Yes but it's rubbish for stories on diets, soaps, the weather, strictly/x-factor etc

The arrangement proposed by Brussels . . . just say no, it's that easy

Just as they can say no to our begging for a 'transition', which is needed as Brexit is going to be incredibly damaging.

All for our own good I should think. Chlorinated chicken and hormone injected beef here we come. All part of the Brexit dividend....

You could always avoid meat that is 'Made in America' if it worries you.

Not so easy in restaurants and processed foods to determine country of origin.

Add on top of that the food companies ability in telling us what we want to hear and not what we don't want to hear makes it a bewildering confusement at times for the consumer..
