Might be funny now but once the UK are gone and France and Germany have to fill the funding gap for the rest of the EU zone it may be a different story.

As you say though Whiskey becomes more attractive abroad so exports go up - its a win win

Its not the Britex that is causing this its the servicing of our debt that is not in some small measure to blame for this - and I know who is to blame for that

i try to stand funny in these dark moments and yes the brexit is not good for us.
UK remains a major contributor to the EEC budget with +/-17 billion euros.
So it is the fourth largest contributor behind Germany, France and i think Italia.

third largest gross contributor - second largest net contributor - France give more but get more back moving them from 2nd gross to 3rd net

I hope we contribute in pounds rather than in euros because if it is the latter the contribution will be going up and up as the pound goes down and down.

Basically they have no respect for us so I wouldn't be paying anything - we should have never been in the position of bankrolling the rest of the EU
What are they going to do if we withold payment......

Graeme, I think  the recent comments have been about  paying donations to the SRGC - which I do hope you think is worth it!

yesterday waiting for the doctor, i was reading in a magazine that 97% of the plants trade is illegal, only 2% is under contracts and 1% BtoC (only 1%!!!)
Nurseries sells only 1% of the plants in the trades, will Brexit grows the current 97%?

[Maggi Young]

1% BtoC (only 1%!!!)

 Sorry, what does  BtoC  mean?

[Yann]

Sorry, what does  BtoC  mean?
