Just realised the date of my insurance renewal...29th March...should I be worried?

Will I still find cheese in the shops?

How do you know? I'm going to start stocking up....hopefully corner the market and sell it for ten times the amount afterwards...forum discount obviously!

Trust me I'm a Northerner, all British cheeses are safe mainly because the Europeans don't like them. French smelly cheeses may be hard to find but you can always replace with a good Stilton. Dutch cheeses will still be available, the Dutch are traders and will trade with anybody regardless of custom rules they have shown that throughout history.

The problem might be French & Spanish wine, they may try to stop us drinking it as we have left their party but how often have you come back from the neighbours party with a freshly opened bottle with your thumb in the top to stop it spilling on the way home. German wine will still be available as they need all the help they can get to sell that stuff.

I am concerned about the sausages
Lincolnshire - should be ok.
Cumberland - might be an issue if the sweaties kick off.
Irish pork sausages - not looking good for the backstop
God help us all if you want cheese with them or a nice bottle of Black Tower

High speed rail works in Europe because it's cheap so people use it , here they'll probably want to charge you £3 a minute extra for the 30 minutes you'll save when £90 should be the whole return fare.

I can’t believe we eat a tasteless concoction of egg flour and milk, fry it to smoke out the kitchen, cover it in sugar to make it palatable then add lemon to give you heartburn and make you wince.
WTF is that all about?

my daughters and the wife do get carried away with pancake day, must say their finished examples look pretty good compared to my embarrassing efforts
