There was the old tobacconist in Warwick Street in Worthing where you could buy Park Drive singularly. Bloody life saver in the days when I smoked.

why make a strawman? the question was why would we chose to increase tariffs on non-EU imports, against stated policy. non-EU import tariffs would remain same or lower. all hypothetical anyway.

Ha, not for the first time the word 'strawman' has been used when the topic of conversation couldn't be more precise.
Is this a new thing from those who happen to cornered?

I genuiney have no idea how the word racist appeared there. A combination of fat thumbs and bleary eyes I guess.
That’s about the only thing you’ve got right in the 10 minutes you’ve been on NSC [emoji23]
I think Mr Huffa forgets he’s a moderator at times and jumps into threads looking to impose his wisdom on us all, quite cute really.
The only one presenting a strawman is you. A strawman is an informal fallacy, based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent. The very precise point that [MENTION=232]Simster[/MENTION] made was that there is currently no tarrif on cod. Your rebuttal to that was to state that we're leaving the EU to reduce tariifs. You didn't address the cod tarriff at all, or even appear to know that there currently isn't one. You leapt from a tenner for a piece of cod to a supposition regarding tarriffs that cannot possibly be proven, because the government is currently making a complete pig's ear of negotiating us out.

Crispy pig's ear with cod sounds pretty good to be fair.

i only asked if people really think we would increase tariffs on non-EU imports, as implied by a £10 portion of cod. then you infer i suggest below zero tariffs
Perhaps a red pepper sauce and a nice glass of Rioja - you'd probably have to be able to make it in to Spain to consume it though

You quoted Simster's zero tarriff post though. Did you hit quote by accident?
You do talk nonsense. Do you manage to confuse yourself?i only asked if people really think we would increase tariffs on non-EU imports, as implied by a £10 portion of cod. then you infer i suggest below zero tariffs
The way it went was that I said Fish and chips would be a lot more expensive, primarily because we'd have left the common market with the zero tariffs to a possible no-deal Brexit where tariffs are high. Sure, we *might* find ourselves in a position where neither the EU nor UK impose tariffs on each other, but that is a leap and far from guaranteed. Why is that so difficult for you to comprehend?

and i asked if people believe we would impose tariffs on ourselves. apparently so. i dont know why you go on to insult anyone discussing something.
i should leave this to the jovial fish humour as intended.

£1.35 in Aldi. My packet says they're Alaskan Pollock which is currently subject to a 13% tariff, according to this document.

According to this the WTO tariff is between 5% and 10%.

So allowing for cost rises in the supply chain, it doesn't take a hugh leap of imagination to think they'll end up more or less the same price
