Oh for christ's sake! Even you can't tell the difference between europe and
the EU. We cannot leave a geographic continent to which we belong. We can
and have left a geopolitical bloc.

So nobody on the Continent gives a ****
on what happens in the UK any more.

The EU cares very much as we've still got a trade deal to negotiate.

That's because your argument is flawed.

You should start to read and try to understand.

Try getting a clue first.

That is British arrogance. This is why I wrote "a whole country is
comitting political and especially economic suicide and little dictator
Boris is dragging the kingdom into the abyss".

In the worst case little Boris is reigniting the civil war in Ireland again.

I'm sure eu citizens really don't care, and I'm also sure it's the same
here, but the bureaucrats will. Whether that matters to anyone is, well,
another matter.

Well, we like to be able to travel, and live, and work anywhere in the
Union, without much paperwork, with health coverage, ans retirement. But
if the Brits want out, what can we do? On the other hand, with the UK
out the EU gains, because they are no longer blocking initiatives for
the community. So, many in the EU actually wanted the UK out. Recent
example, was the ample funds that the south countries got as help to
recover from the coronavirus, the UK would have blocked it.

On the other hand, in Spain we have a large Brit community, specially
retired people. They will suffer, and we will suffer because our economy
depends on those people and the tourism.

I am myself a second third generation expat (not sure about the
classification).

There is no reason you will miss either of them. The most
you might see is the price change a little. And depending
on what the pound does, they might even be cheaper if
the pound drops by more than the EU chooses to have
a tariff on those. Since the EU doesnt grow tea, there
may well be no tariff on tea at all. Likely there will be
on beans in tomato sauce.

The be difference is that if you decide that the UK
economy is doing much better than the Spanish
economy, you wont be free to decide to move
there and be able to do that so easily.

The beans are a peculiarity mostly eaten by foreigners here, the locals
do not typically like them. I'm not average in my tastes. Although I
have seen a tin of beans by a no name brand: they taste horrible to me,
but they do sell it. Go figure.

As to tea, Twinings is probably not the most sold brand he there are
others, and some seem local. We could turn to Russia. Or China.

No name brands often are inferior unless its
something very simple like white sugar etc.

You'll find that the price of it won't change much.
