EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

I don't know about you but I've never seen them both in the same place at the same time. Make of that what you will.

The One nation song, not including Northern Ireland as that is not part of GB. 😁

The One nation song, not including Northern Ireland as that is not part of GB.

The Untied Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland does not includes Northern Ireland?

The song includes Britain. The UK is Great Britain AND Northern Ireland because NI isn’t in GB.

The lyrics are at https://metro.co.uk/2021/06/23/what-is-one-britain-one-nation-and-what-are-the-lyrics-to-their-song-14817409/

They include Britain many times. There isn't any mention of the UK.

There will be adequate ... er ...

That’ll be caused by the EU’s ‘surprising’ intransigence ;)

The Untied Kingdom of Strong Britian and Great Nation.

The song is also proposed to be sung in schools across the nation on a day which is after Scottish schools have broken up for summer.

Went shopping yesterday with the missus, never seen such meagre sized carrots, celery stalks, and similar veg.

(Teaspoon for comparison)

Aldi carrots and cabbages were shit today.

But I was there for cheap booze so not too fussed.

Stuff I grow on the allotment without the industrial benefit(?) of chemical inputs / artifical light / controlled temps tends to be smaller but tastier than owt from the supermarket. Ditto for the organic veg box from a local market gardener.

smaller but tastier than owt from the supermarket.

Partially due to being literally fresh out of the ground than several days in a big HGV travelling hundreds if not thousands of miles.

Needs a double blind test really

You mean some of my allotment stuff should be flown to NZ & back then I eat it to see if tastes any different?

Or get someone to prepare and cook your allotment carrots and some supermarket ones and then someone else serves them to you and you pick your favourite.

and then someone else serves them to you

Pleasingly precise on what constitutes double blind.

Shouldn’t there also be a person providing the carrots to the cook?

Untied Kingdom

I think I will be using this from now on.

You say that, but we had red peppers grown in NL that were smaller than tomatoes recently.

TBF, with fresh lettuce from the allotment, it’s a noticeable difference from store brought one, especially if you ate it straight away.

As the home office has not returned my passport as requested weeks ago and is still sitting on my citizenship application...I'll be one of the furrin' applying to EUSS late (today) with the paper form as... No current ID.

I'm not bothered about it as no plans to travel and application proof protects your rights. Partner and son are both British dual nationals.

Besides citizenship may land before EUSS...we shall see.

But truly one hand of the HO has all my details / ID and the other hand hasn't a clue / cannot access those, no warning letter, no letter from anyone, 18 years of tax records... 😁

I can see the absurdity but many people are ultra stressed due to different circumstances, border office being twats when travelling back into UK...
