Oh, i don't mind criticism at all. The point is that chances are that his friends are probably seeing the reverse picture, ie digga being malleable by media.
But I'm not the one posting (spun) news stories on my personal social media account and getting all uppity about it, you see?It's not their not subscribing to my own viewpoint that's the thing, because there are others that don't, but it's the ones who also seem to fall, time and again, for the same clickbait (like, for example, the animals being sentient non-staory which was proven to be fake news) and then get all flappy and shouty about it. It's that which amuses.
UK manufacturing breaks 2 decade records.
"Factory output rose 0.1 percent from September, marking six consecutive increases for the first time since modern records began in 1997, the Office for National Statistics said."
"Exports of cars were almost 18 percent higher in October than a year earlier, the ONS said."

Annecdotal alert,; both our businesses are seeing increased exports."Factory output rose 0.1 percent from September, marking six consecutive increases for the first time since modern records began in 1997, the Office for National Statistics said."

Really, this mostly just a simple correlation of the sterling exchange rate. Contrary to what many might believe, foreigners are not dumb, they know they can look for bargains in the UK if and when sterling devalues. Simple.

Makes you wonder why Germany is so keen to keep the status quo in the EU... Really, this mostly just a simple correlation of the sterling exchange rate.

I'd say, in summary, even more crashingly simple than that; all because of exchange rate, nothing more, nothing less.

It's not their not subscribing to my own viewpoint that's the thing, because there are others that don't, but it's the ones who also seem to fall, time and again, for the same clickbait (like, for example, the animals being sentient non-staory which was proven to be fake news) and then get all flappy and shouty about it.

The Independent seemed to take a right kicking for that.It's not their not subscribing to my own viewpoint that's the thing, because there are others that don't, but it's the ones who also seem to fall, time and again, for the same clickbait (like, for example, the animals being sentient non-staory which was proven to be fake news) and then get all flappy and shouty about it.

es and no.

On that subject, I spoke to some purchasing people today (think that they actually do less work than me), and even with the low pound, they've gone back to EU for supplies, as the UK ones just ramped up prices. Both Dutch and German suppliers are extending their warehouses to deal with demand.

I have too. I switched supply from Belgium to Wrexham (northern s
thole, like Durham 
) but I'm now sick of the endless UK price increases. Twelve x 44 tonnes of chipboard now booked in from Belgium for January and February. Jockman said:

I agree on the payment terms but I'm finding the opposite on delivery. Unilin in Belgium tend to be erratic but manageable. Finsa in Ireland are better as they have storage on the UK Mainland that can be drawn from.
I'm not up to date on date on wood suppliers but you seem to be dealing directly with the top tier. In my previous life I used to have interest in Slovenian prefab house manufacturer. I can ask my contact there where they used to get wood from, if it's of any help.jjlynn27 said:

One of our European veneer supplies used to be from Slovenia (through a broker). Chipboard, however, is less nuanced. If you can get me 10 tonnes of MDF a day to replace our chipboard I would be a happy man.
