Another thing if yuo look around where I live every other shop is
either polish or romaian with quite a number of turkish and other

Why would the EU stop supplying anything to the UK?


I don;t think it will thre;s quite a few EU citizens with shops is the EU
really goinf to starve these people or will it just cost them more to
live in the UK ?



Does any shop refuse to sell you anything?


Well not normally, most shops will sell stuff depending on it's price and
it's customers. People will pays £100s for a bottle of wine I won't. I
stopped buying wine when it went over £4.99 a bottle.


Go to Lidl, then.


There's one opening up near me in september where B&Q used to be.
But how will I buy wine from the EU ?

You seem to have the very odd idea that leaving the EU means we will be no
longer able to buy goods from it. You will. May be more expensive, though.
Already is due to the pound dropping against the Euro, unless the seller
takes a smaller profit.

N o I don;t that's what some on here are implying because no one will want to buy things from the UK., that's what free trade is about.

Why other than interest rates which have gone up and down since joining the EU prices have changed so I donlt expect prices to not change.
I expect the UKP & $ rates to change depending on what trump does.

The pound had dropped in value against the Euro. Therefore, everything
else being equal, goods priced in Euros will cost more in Sterling than
before. Which is going be anything made in the EU - including French wine.

Progress at last.
Yes its the purchasers choice of where to buy stuff.


Unless the seller refuses to offer them in that country.

So when we need to sell our stuff to earn money to buy stuff who is
going to have to buy our stuff?


Those that want it.

Are you telling us that no one wants
Machinery including computers: US$60.3 billion (14.7% of total exports)


As brex****ters are too thick to understand so its pointless pointing
out that due to the fall in the £ we are getting less $ for our exports
but are paying more $ for our imports so we have less to spend on our
imports now before we face any tariffs that reduce our exports to the EU.

Which goes for everything. How much does it matter if French wine goes up in price. I'm not in the market for french wine but I do by things based on price like most people. If french wine increases in price less will be brought and more wine from none EU countries will be brought and if france are expeorting less wine to the UK they will be making less profit how does that help france or teh EU ir the UK.

We know exporting is the key so France and the EU will be exporting less wine to us while we import cheaper wine from australia, south africa etc...
pleanty of countries sell wine.

No they ain't. I might well want to buy a new Rolls but ain't able to. Due
to not having the money.

Which is rather pertinent as regards UK trade. Absolutely everyone world
wide will be happy to sell us things. If we have the money to pay for them.

A Rolls is an import is it ?
Can you tell me when you could afford a rolls was it back in the late 60s early 70s before we joined the common market, could you have afforded one between 1971 and 2016 ?



Which is rather pertinent as regards UK trade. Absolutely everyone world
wide will be happy to sell us things. If we have the money to pay for them.


They were just as happy to sll us things previously and will be just as happy to sell us things in the future.

who in the world do you think are likely to be buying Rolls Royces anyway ?
Do you realy think those that can afford a RR now won't be able to after BREXIT.
You haven't a clue have you one of the reasons why RR sell so well is because they are expensive NOT because they are good cars.
They don't win grand prix , they aren;t high end sports cars for boy racers.

Well that's what I've heard and spanish wines were better vaule until spain joined the EU when it had to reduce it's output so as not to damages french wine trade as they produced lots of cheap wine, which France didn't like.

And if no one in the UK can afford French wine then France will either have to lower it's costs or cut back on exports and I don't see how that will help the France or the EU if we stop buying from the EU and go elsewhere.

remmebr if the UK getsv pooer we'll have less money to spend on the EU.

But not much for the majority, if you're a wine connoisseur then it;s your choice as I said it's still down to supply and demand.

It really is that simple.

I was once in the second "row" wating for the lights to change. In the
front row a Mini Coooper with the driver blipping the throttle - along side
was a Rolls. Lights change and the Cooper's engine revs went up and rubber
was left on the tarmac - The Rolls just purred away - in the lead.
