Baggins

It’s from a shop in Germany and the product is called Black Forest Tofu, shouldn’t it be Schwarzwald Tofu?

I thought Taifun was a German company as well.

Tried Aldi (Hertford) for a while. Was never happy with the quality. Apart from the German beer and their wine.

We should have gone full metric and adopted the Euro years ago. Then all this bollocks about pints and good old sterling would have been done with.
As usual with UK we do everything half arsed and settle for second best.

No, it doesn’t. And you know it doesn’t. Goodbye trollbot.

Did they fax?

No, they sent a carrier pigeon. One of their best, named ‘Gesprenkelt Jimi’

My point exactly.

But who will slap them down for it? We’ll just carry on trading (directly or indirectly) and wring our hands. Russia will only take notice of strength. Every thing else is ‘weak capitalist fools’ and whatever the KGB (they may have a new name but nothing has changed) decide is best for Russia. We need to stand up to them.

A good plan. More places need to follow this lead.

We should have let them fall during WW2. We should have listened to our generals solved the problem then.

None of us ever thought it would. Russia is Russia. We should have let them fall in WW2.

‘You can even wear Trump-themed butt plug if you want to.’

Probably the most accurate of your examples.

Robert Jenrick Grade 1 racist arsehole and all round tory git. Read up on his history.

He’s not wrong though. We do need to wake up.

They are limbering up - this has been coming for some years but the west will sleepwalk into it. We should have distanced ourselves them years ago instead of sucking up to them for cheap oil and gas.

We ignore the warning signs at our peril.

Fun isn’t it?

Good - we need to give them plenty.

Russia has never cared. About anyone or anything.

I agree to a point - but not everyone wants to do stuff over the phone - some business is better done face to face.

Shopkeepers had to drive to a bank, where ever that may be, now that Hertford branches are closing as well, that may be Welwyn Garden City, Bishops Stortford or Harlow. And with Hertford being the county town - I think that’s pretty piss poor.

The banking hub is a great idea, but two years so far and sod all.

Personally? Very, very rarely now. The last time was to open a joint account with my wife. Can’t do that in the branch in Hertford (the county town) apparently. We didn’t bother in the end.

Shopkeepers trying to pay in their takings, older people that can’t use web services. People that want to talk about their requirements rather than filling out a poorly thought out script on the aforementioned web page, all need somewhere physical.

We are supposed to be getting a banking hub, the main banks will each have a representation there. Its been asked about for a couple of years now but hasn’t got anywhere.
