EU Imported firewood into the UK

[playtent]

Do you think people care about buying British?

 

This quote sums it up...

 

Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home and grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV whilst burning Latvian firewood in their Chinese log burner.

And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything foreign!!!

 

 

Oh and!!!!!

 

Only in Britain... can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

 

Only in Britain... do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

 

Only in Britain.. do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a DIET coke.

 

Only in Britain... do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.

 

Only in Britain... do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.

 

Only in Britain... do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.

 

Only in Britain... are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink.

 

 

NOT TO MENTION...

 

 

3 Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.

 

142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts.

 

58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.

 

31 Brits have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.

 

19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations were chocolate.

 

British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling accidents.

 

101 people since 1999 have had broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet.

 

18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.

 

A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth. (All tree surgeons)

 

5 Brits were injured last year in accidents involving out of Control Scalextric cars.

 

 

and finally.........

 

 

In 2005 eight Brits cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the toilet.

 

 

Makes you proud to be British!

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]that was one of the best reply's I've read on here!

People are not bothered where timber comes from by and large, some dont even know hard from soft. I have lost count of the number of sales I have lost on price, usually to people selling lower volumes or higher moisture levels.

 

In my book it costs the same to deliver a half cube bag as a cube bag, its just that the profit is less. But look at the supermarkets, many are now only stocking the smaller containers of washing powder and cooking oil. I may be forced to do some half cube bags next winter.

[Windy Trick]

What predictions. That we are completely unable to prevent the introduction of alien organisms

 

More your predictions about the next serious tree disease being somehow connected to the last foot and mouth outbreak, tied in with the greed of man and a heinous 1500 mile trip in a container!

Hi!So why say bad things about Britain?)

[william petts]

Anyone been importing any wood in lately and do you think if Britain leaves the e.u it will have on effect on price etc, I for one hope they try and limit foreign imports and focus on selling our own wood aswell as by limiting imports it surely limits the risk of importing diseases

[Davescay]

I import. There may well be a trade tarrif imposed amongst other things.

 

There's a 2 year negotiation before anything happens. What hurts me at the minute is the exchange rate.

 

If I could buy local for the same quality and price then I would.

 

If imports were restricted there would be quite the shortage of wood. The UK just doesn't have enough to be self sufficient
