So you refuse to answer. Just chatted to my daughter btw, who concurs with me.
Refuse to answer? I answered your original question three times. Now you've gone off on one and I'm meant to be responsible for you? Do you not have a carer?Come on Nick, you can do better than this.

It won’t matter soon. No Eu to ensure those trade marks are protected.
You will be able to buy your Melton Mowbray from Minnesota and Cheddar from Carolina and single malt Scotch from Scottsdale.

The term cheddar cheese is widely used, but has no protected designation of origin within the European Union.
Not very good at this, are you? A few seconds on Google would prevent a reoccurance of foot-in-mouth, but your hubris doesn't allow it

and how...
it's yet another variant on the "we need them more than they need us" theme that we've seen so often. If I didn't know better I'd suspect Nick has been sampling one of those cases of Maison Gosselin he dropped into the conversation earlier.

Meantime, Brexit types can’t even get Big Ben to bong for Brexit. And yet these are the very same muppets we need to do multiple trade deals by the year end?
Christ.
Yet the gofundme appeal is in excess of 150K in just over 24hrs.Christ.
You can donate as anything in excess of 500K goes to HfH

It will make you choke undoubtedly
A complete shambles I’m afraid.
Let’s hope it’s not a sign of things to come?

The US fked the French, they'll fk us too...
See the logical flaw?
As for anecdote outweighing data, well that bit of the pyramid of debate is wider than the upper levels - so it's bigger and therefore better, right?

If someone lives near Nick, can you check in on him. #prayfornick - the hangover's going to be a stonker.

On the actual debate though - where do you fall based upon the arguments presented?
If we pitched it, debating society style, as "this house believes that leaving the EU will destroy our regionally protected trademarks, and the EU have the upper hand in negotiations due to that" - are you an aye or a nay?

Putting a message about "flag etiquette" through someone's letterbox.
Brilliant
Doesn't everyone do this? Nick's a down to earth chap, highly representative of the UK population. I would have thought most would do this.Brilliant
Though it's a bit rhum of him not to suggest to his neighbour to get flags with anti-fray edging (like my union and St George's flags

My point had nothing to do with the Eu. I am reasonably hopeful that an equitable deal will be made with them.On the actual debate though - where do you fall based upon the arguments presented?

It’s the USA where my concerns lay. I do not believe any deal with them will be equitable and they will get better access to our markets than we will in reality to theirs.

I learn an awful lot from threads like these, it's good to have a grasp on the important things in life.

In fairness to Nick that wasn’t the motion being proposed as I read it.On the actual debate though - where do you fall based upon the arguments presented?
