So, some people seem surprised that not many "local people" want to take jobs picking fruit and veg. I don't know why they're surprised because in the past farmers didn't rely on local people, they relied on itinerant workers

So not local people, but travelling people i.e.

.. in other words, gypsies.
Here, in the Midlands picking potatoes.

And here in Kent. Fruit and hop picking.

4/4

@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.

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.

3/5

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?
Q2: What's the connection?

All countries predominantly protect agriculture more than industrial products.

Compare EU with Switzerland which protects ag even more. Image

Food: 90% of food imports come into the UK on 0% tariffs already. Image

Even under a no-deal scenario, we're going to be keeping the tariffs on clothing quite high as shown here:

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.
