I ordered a jacket from this lot at the weekend; Bookster British Tailored, Tweed Jackets and Suits for Town and Country

So don't say I'm not doing my bit to help!!!

Unfortunately, I can't think of many other things that Britain exports that I really want to buy at the moment. Perhaps Britain's cheesemakers could do a sales drive here in NL. I enjoy a bit of Lancashire cheese but can't get it anywhere here.

And perhaps this is the problem; Britain makes lots of good stuff but doesn't always market it well.

Blessed are the cheesemakers!
