Mate - just an idea, but why don't you (as kids in Northern Ireland said when I was growing up in the 1980's) and [MENTION=1365]Westdene Seagull[/MENTION] get a room together and thrash it out together? [MENTION=21401]pastafarian[/MENTION] could perhaps referee from a discrete distance, as he's into that sort of thing evidently.

Fair enough. For what it's worth [MENTION=1365]Westdene Seagull[/MENTION] once said he went to Bristol Gardens Health Spa in Kemp Town (I remember stuff) so in my opinion, he's an interesting guy.

But you cannot claim people knew what they were voting for when what you are now claiming they knew they were voting for was never mentioned.

I don't know, could be a number of reasons.
Some years back I knew a pig farmer who exported live animals to Denmark, which were then slaughtered and sold back in Britain as Danish Bacon, they had run a very successful marketing campaign and Danish bacon was in demand, so that was a way of them meeting UK demand.
Could be we Brits like shoulders but can't sell the rest of the carcass so easily here, but maybe some countries like the other cuts more?
Maybe we make a lot of Shepherds Pie ready meals and export those and the Lamb mince in them is counted separately? I know the EU does like to separate the ingredients out under their documentation, so that they can keep track of quota amounts.
Could be a seasonal thing, lambs are born July to September in NZ and Feb to April in the UK, and fatten on for 5 months or so?

It's almost as if all those Brexiteers who wanted 'no deal' had absolutely no concept whatsoever of the implications of applying WTO default tariffs to all of Britain's international trade.
Well who would have thought that because it's not as if they are all thick, like some remainers claim
Probably starting to realise how lucky they are that it's not going to happen.

Don't fancy addressing any of the facts then?
I thought not
Please let us know when you intend to start dishing out facts
Im loving you digging a bigger and bigger hole for yourself everytime you come out another of your WTO "facts".

And how would you divide up whose half of the room it was if the mere mention of borders and boundaries would make him faint.

It's believed Europe was in a mini ice age. During the 1800s the Thames used to freeze every year. Climate change does happen naturally, humans just managed to super charge the process by pumping CO2 into the atmosphere since the industrial revolution.

A few posters started dishing out facts a week ago when you insisted there would be no difference in trade and made it clear that you had no idea.
So here was the explanation I went to the trouble of writing for you to explain some of those facts.
In the event of 'no deal' on 29th March we lose access to three lots of trading agreements -
We lose all trading arrangements with the EU 27 countries and these would revert to WTO default tariffs.
We also lose all other third-party trading arrangements that have been negotiated between the EU and other countries and trading blocs that we currently use and these would revert to WTO default tariffs .
We also lose all WTO schedules and quotas that have been negotiated by the EU with other countries and trading blocs which we currently use and these would revert to WTO default tariffs .
However, it is correct that we can use the WTO default Tariffs.
The EU schedules we currently use, have negotiated tariffs and quotas, which are used as a method of controlling volumes of trade (a quota at one tariff, and then anything over that quota at a second, normally higher tariff). There are no default WTO quotas with which to control volumes, only simple tariffs.
This means that not only will we be charging the highest possible tariffs on all imports, but the EU will start charging us tariffs on all goods exported to them and have no control over volumes.
This is why there is no country in the world that trades solely on WTO default tariffs. Mauritania were the last but has joined the Economic Community of West African States, and it now has preferential trade arrangements with some 20 WTO members (including, I believe the EU).
So anyone who says that there will be no change to trade is quite simply stupid or lying (or, quite possibly, both)
But you still didn't understand and insisted, even after these cold hard facts that you thought that we would continue trading with non-existent 'uncertified schedules' with no effect
So, for your benefit again, here are some facts
Now I don't know whether you simply don't understand or whether you have your fingers in your ears shouting 'project fear' but, either way, I believe the phrase you like is 'have a hat'

Don't worry, got that covered. The room will come with a cot and playpen. I'll also make sure there is a pram so Plooks can throw his toys out when he realises the playpen stops him from having freedom of movement.
Tee hee....
