In fairness it is fecking mental that it should make sense to import basic goods like fruit, veg and meat from half way round the world when it can be grown in Europe perfectly well.

Don’t want no European muck either. We want oven ready sovereign chickens!

Is there a single positive so far from Brexit? It has to be the most stupid act of Democratic self-harm a developed country has made in recent years. Absolutely insane it was allowed to happen. If ever there is a case for utterly disregarding a referendum, it's this.

And the most laughable thing is it’s the most ‘patriotic’ that voted for it

I mean just to pick up this thing [the chicken tikka pakoras] and I just noticed at home. It was a proper letdown. Really big letdown."

Simon said he did not eat the Pakkoras because the chicken was from Thailand rather than British meat.
 
Fast forward five years...

Simon was a tad miffed when he tucked into his jumbo sausage roll: "I knew something was up cos my gums weren't bleeding from little specks of machine metal, and the meat didn't have it's usual sulphur taste. It became clear pretty quickly that it was actual meat in the pastry and not the proper British delight I had expected. I got really angry, but calmed down when my phone wouldn't work and I realised I was still in good ol' England. The toxic fumes from my faulty boiler, that no longer needs EU enforced yearly maintenance, relaxed me further."

And it has to stop. An utter disgrace.

Australia is worse. We need to revert to eating only kangaroos,locally caught fish, roots, berrie and eucalyptus leaves.

Naw - Cadbury's goes back a long way - the UK version is OK but the Yankee version is a disater, even then it's still better than Hershey's

Chocolate is cocoa based which isn't grown in the UK :)

AU Cadbury's isn't as nice as the UK stuff (assuming I remember correctly) presumably because the weather is hotter?

Bet it doesn't grow in Aussie either!

Cocoa is grown near Darwin in the NT, in North Queensland and in north-west Western Australia but I have no idea how big a crop we grow.

Anyway we deserve something to compensate for Fosters & Castlemaine 4X

Nothing can compensate for those. Nobody here drinks Fosters (even assuming you could find any) and only Queenslanders drink XXXX and they are an odd lot.

Paul Hogan has a lot to answer for!

First Fosters I ever had was a tinny given to me by, a later well known, Aussie cricketer in the late 70's

In so many ways.



Has to be David Boon.

Although a few years too early if this occured in the UK I'd guess.

Nope, he wasn't well known at the time, Geoff Lawson, known to everyone as Henry, broke a couple of my fingers when I played and missed one in the nets, no extra padding and helmets in those days

Isn't he head coach of Pakistan now?

And in the end a few broken fingers are far better than drinking Fosters or XXXX

He was for a bit, he was a pretty quick bowler but not the most frightening one I ever batted against, played against a West Indian test fast bowler, can't remember his name now, I was no.11 being a bowler, I faced 3 balls, scored 8 runs and never saw the ball, first 2 edged for 4, last one the stumps went for 4!

Local league cricket in Lancashire was pretty special up until 20 odd years ago, each team would have a professional , quite often younger players before they hit the big time but not always, lots of Aussies and West Indians but some from every test nation, Andy Flower and Curtley Ambrose played for my local team (well after I stopped) Joel Garner played for a local team, and lived in a caravan at the ground, we always tried to hit when we played there!

Fun days
