I think you need to polish your crystal ball Twonk. Abattoir sold all its product again this year.

How is the Argentine economy looking? At least the politicians have healthy bank accounts!

The majority of our fish, squid, loligo goes to Far Eastern markets, s is unaffected by Brexit. Do you really think Spain would happily lose it's share of the squid taken from Falklands waters? Much of their squid is from here.

Wænk, you need to worry about your own economy. As everyone knows, you are all in for a miserable winter, financially.

So anyone who has an opposite opinion to Thonk is a brainwashed Anglo-Turnip. It really says a lot when your only response to an argument is to call the opponent brainwashed…
