    Really don't care about that pair but I do care about all the people whose lives will be affected against their wishes and those whose livelihoods may be jeopardised when businesses choose to take their jobs and investment elsewhere or care homes, fruit farms, hotels, restaurants and other "low skill/low pay" employers can't get the staff they need because UK workers won't accept the pay and conditions.

    @Obelixx yes that's just another part of it, but it's really this attitude that "we got what we want you can go to hell in a handcart".

    much like James Dyson?

    I wasn't too happy with them either @Allotment Boy.   If they really wanted a French lifestyle why move to an area that's almost 20% Brits?

    Because they want the French lifestyle but don't want to mix with Johnny Foreigner.  They don't speak English, don't you know!

    My wife was getting the ingredients together for a stew.  Purchased swede from a well known supermarket and it had a 'best before' date just a few day after the purchase date.  I can't remember the last time I saw a swede go off, let alone do so in a few days.

    My wife was recommended a recipe for roasted swede wedges with parmesan which she made a few days ago. It was a pretty underwhelming flavour but did give the house an interesting smell of swedey feet for several days. :#
