Originally posted by DaveB View PostBeer is still going to be an issue. We brew loads of it in the UK but the vast majority of the hops used are imported, particularly for lagers. Some UK brewers do use UK grown hops, especially in the real ale market, but they don't produce enough to meet demand and the ranges available would be severely reduced.
No doubt that is impossible, insurmountable, unsolvable problem and there's no way that could ever be achieved, unless beer costs £100000000000000000000000 per fluid ounce and we waited 1000000000000000000000000000000 years.First Law of Contracting: Only the strong surviveComment

Do you realise how pathetic these insurmountable issues sound coming from so called educated professionals?
I wonder if big companies are switching to overseas IT staff after visiting UK IT forums such as this, and realising that there is no creativity, adaptability or resilience with UK IT people?First Law of Contracting: Only the strong surviveComment

Looks like no Cod and Chips either:
Norway may stop British and EU vessels fishing in its waters from 1 January, its fisheries minister said today, as talks on the management of common North Sea stocks have been held up by London’s protracted Brexit standoff with Brussels, Reuters reports.
Norway, which is not part of the EU but is part of the European single market, had previously negotiated annually with the bloc about the management of common fish stocks, access to each other’s waters and exchange of fish quotas. That has had to change following Britain’s withdrawal from the EU. Britain completes its departure from the EU’s orbit on 31 December.
In September, Norway and Britain agreed a so-called “framework” agreement on which to base their future relations on fisheries, Reuters reports. But on one specific issue - the management of North Sea fish that swim between waters belonging to the EU, Norway and Britain
- Oslo wants a trilateral deal in place. And these negotiations have not yet started. Odd Emil Ingebrigtsen, the fisheries minister, told parliament:
If we do not get a deal by 1 January, we will not open Norway’s economic fishing zones to vessels from the EU and Britain. Neither can we expect Norwegian vessels to get access to their [the EU’s and Britain’s] zones before a deal is in place.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
