Quote:On one hand you talk about sheep and exporting/ importing being bad for the environment but on the other you seem to take umbridge with Witherspoon doing the right thing by the environment by only using UK beer/ sparkling wine.
If I remember correctly Tim Martin plans to replace European wines with Australian, Chilean etc. I’m a big fan local and UK beers. And I thank England for leading the way in the promotion of real ale. Thank-you England for bringing back real beer

Quote:What about all that yellow whisky stuff scotland sends to Japan, surely there is no need for all those air miles when saki tastes just as bad, so the Japanese may as well just stick to drinking that.
I’m not against global trade, it’s just there’s a need to think carefully now about what we import/export. I mean do we really need apples from Argentina? Does it really make sense to air freight fresh veg?
I think there will always be an international trade in certain drinks. Scottish Whisky is second to none. Though the Japanese are keeping us on our toes, they make some fine whisky themselves.
Quote:AND I want back the hour of daylight that scotland steals from us every October. ---Just so the farmers can see their sheep in the mornings so they they can catch them and send to New Zealand.Nothing to do with us. Nothing to do with farming either. Was supposed to be about the school kids walking to school in daylight. The sooner they keep us on summer time all year round the better. At the moment round my way the sun rises at 08.25 and sets at 15.49 – the day is 7hrs 23 minutes long and we’ve still 30 minutes to loose. Foccing murder.
