This is a doozy.
Lough Neagh eels can't be sold in Britain, as they are protected and the EU bans their sale outside the EU.
NI is still governed by these rules so the jellied eel sellers in London have no stock.
You can’t make this sh it up!

They can't re-stock because they usually get their stock from Great Britain (despite being part of the UK), and they have lost 20% of their market because they can't sell to Britain (despite being part of the UK). What an absolute mess.Quote:

Indeed, wife's with the trademark "Made in Germany" stamped around their belly button are famously gut quality but have recently become more expensive to obtain. The future lies in cheaper Asian imports.Quote:

I’m listening to this Evening of ideas on Scotland in a post Brexit world on Facebook Live at the moment, very interesting talk. Menzies Campbell about to speak, I had wrongly thought he’d died :faf: must be at least 132 by now.
Is he not WH Smith Campbell now 🤔Quote:
