Chain Oil

So true! The last lot I bought in England was £6 for 5 litres (not a
gallon). The previous times I've always bought it in Auchan in France at
£3.50 for 5 litres.

In England the system only enthusiastically implements those laws which
are arbitrarily introduced retrospectively.

 

Sounds like a depressed auvache.

 

According to an old drinking friend who worked for Commer Oils, Scott

Whatever it is it's as sticky as hell. JDAMHIK.

Course he is. Mick writes all the "Brussels bans bendy bananas"

What if you don't smoke?

 

Start. Or get Rexxx round ...

 

No, that is just as it comes.

Ask any party campaigner who comes to your door what that think about
the EC's lengthy documentation on banana imports to Europe. Egg them on
with the length, curvature, colour ( feed lines are us) regulations and
see what they say.
I've only had one who actually knew what the reason for the legislation
was for.

Who on ukrm knows what the EUs tight specification on bananas was all
about?

Take your time I'm off out to do a bit of target shooting (fills jacket

I don't have this problem: I have a gallon of chainsaw oil in the shed, a
present from Gyp.

 

It was my intention that it should.

 

Doesn't it depend on the circumstances? If you grammatically finish the
sentence, you use an ellipsis (three full stops) plus a full stop, but
if you don't...

 

But shirley you'd only be using an allipsis if you didn't
grammatically finish the sentence?

 

Oh, I can't remember.

Something like this:

Ooh, ooh, I know, I know, pick me! pick me! ...

 

Go on then, put your hand down and tell

Now sit quietly and I'll tell you:

It's all part of some very clever scheming by Britain and France to help
out their Caribbean "colonial" islands. The cessation of preferential
trading with the Caribbean in the early 90 with the fuller
implementation of the EU meant total economic disaster to the banana
islands. There was a buffer over a few years to allow extra tonnage from
the island but this pissed off the US. The US had huge investments in
south America and by using irresponsible deforestation, over use of
pesticide, fertilisers, genetic modifiers and slave labour rate produced
*lots* of cheap tasteless bananas. This also gave then a unique shape
size and colour due to the nature of their production. One of the
cleaver ideas come up by L. Britain and N Kinoch and their French
counterparts was to only call a banana a banana if it fitted a
specification. They buried this in with classifications for red and
green cooking bananas ( can't remember what they are called ) so that to
be allowed in under the banana imports they must meet the banana spec.
This meant without putting a barrier on US owned banana producers, the
Caribbean could still have preference over the US. A lot of noise was
made through the WTO and by the bent WTO US funded head. But although
there was a shit load of posturing by the US they were not abiding by
the WTO complain rules either. So not getting anywhere the US of their
own back put 100% import tax on a dozen or so EU sourced import that
would had devastating effects on small industries but would not harm the
US. The EU backed down and allowed a larger tonnage of US owned banana
imports but the EU still kept parts of the banana specs (as the US
didn't understand them) to give the Caribbean a chance and poked the US
in the eye with 'No female hormone injected beef imports'.

So if some one puts the case to you, as an argument against the EU, that
it has gone mad with its banana specifications, it means they don't know
what the f*ck they are talking about.
Me I don't buy Chiquita, del Monte or Dole bananas


This is all from memory from working with friends from the Caribbean
before anyone says I write stuff that can easily be contradicted.
