@TalkingPicsTV IMDB used to have a forum where you could ask a question saying you remember some scene from a film, give a vague description of it, and some clever cliffs would say “Ah .. that’s the movie [whatever].”

I have such a question. I know it’s a British 50/60s film.
Where do I go these days?
F’king auto-correct turned cloggs into cliff.
Here’s what I remember, I think I saw this film on C4 in the 1990s. It was British film from the 1950s/60s

All I remember is this bloke going through customs and he gets caught out smuggling watches. I think the film then shows the consequences. It was a drama not a documentary.

UK-Japan CEPA again.

The DTI have published this guide. A few points.

Obviously, first of all, it's not "reduced" as from now to Dec 31, it's 0% due to the EU EPA. So there's no reducing going on.

But what's this here?

Udon noodles, Pocky etc.

Lets' do Pocky first.

It's licenced and manufactured in Europe by Modelez as Mikado.

It's made in France.

2/5
Udon noodles.

It says the MFN tariff on the noodles is 26.4%.

The MFN is not 26.4%.

It's 6.4% + €24.60 per 100kg for CN 1902301020

But actually, as you know, zero right now.

We've been doing Zoom quizzes over the last few weeks and I do Only Connect rounds. I've got the Hieroglyph's and music and everything. I thought I'd share some questions from previous weeks.

For most fun only look at the images one as a time.

So ... let's play 'Only Connect'!
Q1: What's the connection?

I couldn’t attend the climate change hustings in #Lewes last night, but I’ve heard a report of what happened.

Get this:

The incumbent Tory, @mariacaulfield didn’t attend claiming she was ‘busy’ and sent a surrogate in the form of a local Tory councillor at the last minute.
2/5

All candidates each gave an opening 4-minute statement. The Tory surrogate announced that she had not had sufficient time to peruse the questions and so would be leaving after making her statement. This prompted an audience member to shout out that she might we well go now.
3/5

Her statement said little if anything about what the Conservatives would do about climate change but complained that “you all hate us”.

At one point she said, “it’s on people, there’s no such thing as Government” which resulted in a shout of “Rubbish” from the audience.

The @LewesGreenParty have chosen not to support the #RemainAlliance in Lewes constituency in East Sussex.

They believe they can win, partly based upon the District Council results in May.

To support that argument they posted this misleading meme.

I have annotated it.
@LewesGreenParty The Lewes District Council results are available as a PDF here lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk/_resources/ass…

I wrote some code in Node.js to extract the data from this PDF and put into CSV format so that it could be analysed.

As I understand it:

BJ's deal: EU tariffs will be applied to 'selected' as yet unknown goods crossing from GB into Northern Ireland. Goods deemed “at risk” of moving into the EU after entering Northern Ireland will be subject to the EU tariff, and potential rebate if they don't.
However, should the UK and EU come to a Free Trade Agreement it's possible that none of those tariffs would apply. No guarantee of that FTA and also no guarantee that all those "at risk" goods would be zeroed, or without quotas.
But what about, post any FTA agreement, goods from a 3rd country transiting GB into Northern Ireland?
