No cheaper than they could have last year though, eh.
Who knows, however in the short term this is bad for German manufacturing base by the looks of it. Let’s hope it gets sorted soon.
At least not cheaper because of Brexit we can safely say.
It may well become cheaper,
How will a part be manufactured in the UK or the EU become cheaper specifically because of Brexit and how soon.
I could postulate but interested to hear your view.
Oh, and the staff there cheaper vis workshy frogs,micks, wops and dagos
Productivity is a huge topic , and if shorter hours but higher wages alone is the measure then yes France is ahead of uk by quite some way.
The French studies are all based upon reported hours which private companies all report as the legal amounts allowed (ie 35 hour weeks) the French really work as many hours as the rest of us and are about as productive.

An absolute myth if you count the nitrogen and industry required to grow a similar product in the wrong place. Lincolnshire is great for Spuds but a very inefficient place to grow green beans.

No, but it's not something we should be wanting to add too where it palpably makes no sodding sense. And the carbon and heavy metal footprint and the like isn't nothing in the wide world of transport.

Growing the right products in the right place and the efficiency that brings is a massive benefit to humans and one of the larger factors in how we now feed 7 billion people. By any measure if you include the need for industrial nitrogen it’s also eco friendly.

Re: OFFICIAL Brexit Thread
Very interesting viewing,
The reoccurring theme is the bureaucracy, paperwork,red tape, manual processes, computer systems not aligned and new costs and overheads involved.
The rules of origin is causing mayhem too.
Is the WA being changed? Because these people seem to think the the EU will need to change the WA to fix some of these issues! The penny dropping that the UK is a 3rd country and that’s how EU trading works for all 3rd countries.
Sounds fairly chaotic.

No need to be spiteful about the ROI. They did comment how ROI warehousing and distribution companies working for the supermarkets here are doing a great job. They’re managing the impact of the the UK generated issues very well apparently.
Remember the UK has a trading surplus with the ROI. We’re your 5th biggest trading partner in the world. You really don’t want to mess that up now.

Having listened to a bit more of the parliament tv recording, at 11:23:56 one of the main logistics advisers on the call believes the best way to fix all the trading issues will be for the UK to move to a Theresa May Withdrawal Agreement.
He doesn’t actually say Theresa May Withdrawal Agreement but what he’s intimating.
