Whats F Y M (the family keep cremating the cats - bit of a waste of a good use it seems )? I cannot visualise the raspberry protection - I have some in Stockport but its a bit under some trees so does not seem to be the best place - if they dont need deep roots can I pot into the front sunny garden ...

I see basic state pension due to rise 4% in April 2020. So far as I can see supermarket prices up 5% gas and lleccy a bit more.

I think the idea is that pm writes to Eu. to request extension from Eu. But actually leaves on the 31st. Law is complied with other than any parliamentary vote that is binding not to leave with no deal. Alice in wonderland territory.

Qu...

Boris might just pull off a dealed exit. There have been some ideas written down but not official, mostly relating to things like plant (as in Garden) movements and checking NI to EIRE and thence (?)

I've got to give it to you Gloria, you are so close and it's not well known. The word is shooks.

Given that TV has given us, Masterchef, The Pottery Throwdown, The Sewing Bee one, Bake-Off and the apprentice (huh!), maybe its time for Cobbler/Paternoster the professionals to be televised - those lads and ladies from the Repair Shop would be in with a shout.

Finally notice the BBC trailer for "World on Fire" a dramatisation of the early days of WW2.

Returning to Yellowhammer, in theory, depending on other trade deals, some food prices could fall, indeed the EU could even dump some of its Food surpluses on us selling below cost like they do to some of Africa.
