If it was a long term issue someone would setup more mills here.

We don't grow the hard wheats here needed to produce flour so the best quality Irish flour is added to the harder wheat flour to make the flour we use.


There's also issues with phytosanitary controls as the wheat from the UK would, in general, suffer from the same diseases as here but importing European wheat could lead to the introduction of different diseases and strains of diseases which Irish crops would not have much resistance towards.

We're not going to starve but what we will see is some things rise in price and then gradually disappear off the shelves as sales drop and the suppliers decide it just isn't worth the hassle shipping to that island with the tiny population. Ireland isn't a large enough market to be bothered with by itself and most companies just consider it to be a part of the UK market like a small Manchester or Birmingham. That'll all change with brexit.

Anything that comes in from the continent will have an extra 10-20% on it due to increased transportation costs (time is money be it in delays at ports or longer/slower ferry trips bypassing the UK. Anything that comes from the UK will have 20-40% tariffs imposed on them. So as prices increase sales will drop. Eventually companies will just stop supplying the Irish market. We'll end up like many of those towns and cities in isolated parts of Australia, Russia, Canada etc. You won't starve but you won't go into a local supermarket and find the same selection of stuff that you would find in New York or Sydney of London. We'll get the mass consumed basics but many niche luxuries will become hard to find. Time to ween yourself off a breakfast of avacado on chia seed chibata toast drizzled with truffle oil and start getting used to porridge.

Another problem will be internet shopping. Will .co.uk websites from the likes of Amazon, Debenhams, SportsDirect etc continue to supply the Irish market? They may not and if they do we're likely to see big tariffs. So will the .de or .fr sites step up and fill the gap? Possibly but with big postal fees. Not that local book or record shops will do any better. They will also have to get their products in from the UK and will face tariffs and reluctant suppliers. My advice on that one is buy a new Kindle, tablet, phone etc. You'll be able to get ebooks etc far cheaper from servers located in Ireland than physical stuff from warehouses located in the UK.

That’s complete tosh. Leo said everything is going to be fine and I believe him.

Of course he thinks it's going to be fine. Nothing's ever gone wrong for. He's never wanted for anything. And every political decision he has ever made has worked out. There hasn't been a politician as elite and with as lucky a track record since David Cameron and we all know how that success streak ended up. Brexit. Sure it'll never happen.

I’d believe that if New Zealand were a soviet type shopping existence. It isn’t. And transport isn’t as expensive to here as there, an under the tir there need not be any delays.

These U.K. firms have to supply the EU/European market if they want to survive, tariffs or not. Ireland’s part of that. We may of course change our habits.

That probably means no more ASOS €20 a year DHL next day delivery.

Probably coincidence but there is a town called Werther in Westphalia.
Where they started making sweets in 1903.


Chef, Fruitfield, Silvermints, Double Centre, Scots Clan and Yorkshire Toffee are (or were cba checking) Nestle brands.


Marks and Spencer own brands ? Could be made anywhere.

Owned by Kraft Heinz. Kraft as in margarine, Flora and Stork are other brands of theirs.

It's no longer a premium brand , Roses this year were waxy. Even the insipid Nestle muck taste better.

Probably made in Poland from recycled axel grease or whatever is cheapest.

Not really.

No customs checks on TIR, so minimal delays on the landbridge. Drivers with Irish passports can travel visa free. Or they could send over the trailers or unaccompanied so there's no delays at passport control.

Yes the ferry from Belgium takes 30 hours. But it's over 600Km from Dover to Holyhead and tuckers are limited in the hours they can do.

The UK are leaving the EU, they have not declared war on the EU. I think your vision is extremely far fetched. The UK is not the only market on this planet

I already buy stuff from amazon.de and amazon.es They're often cheaper than .co.uk even if they charge for delivery.

Shur what's the point of stocking up on anything? By the time all our relatives and friends living and working in the UK return, we'll be eating each other.

Seriously, do people really believe the Brits will starve after Brexit? :pac:
