Coronavirus

Where do we import it all from?

 

Theres still hand wash in all the shops I've been in .

 

Italy going into lockdown nationwide

 

read back a page or two

 

And the visitors who are coming to see ill relatives, who are urged to hand sanitise before entering the wards, to protect the patients.

But yeah, **** ‘em, I’m going to nick some so I can sort myself out, and I might lift a few more and flog them on eBay for £65 a pop (yes that’s also an actual thing)

 

I've not even looked

 

Coz you're just a jealous guy, fam, innit

 

Other countries? That's what the word 'import' implies.

 

Trump currently giving a speech about the virus. He said some companies won’t do well out of it but others will.

 

Book yourself a trip to Capri. It’s paradise.

 

I think at this point it’s probably best to take Italy off the immediate holiday destination list

 

We make plenty of it. What we don’t have are the prime raw materials for making it i.e. the bulk rolls of paper and we don’t make the cardboard tubes either, so we import both.

 

Thanks, i learn lots from you

 

Like the company making the test kits for example...........

 

Not according to this (I had checked earlier after I posted )

According to the Confederation of Paper Industries, 1.3 million tonnes of tissue is used in the UK every year, with 1.1 million of it being imported into the UK. Statistics from the Consumer Market Outlook says that one Brit goes through an estimated 127 rolls of toilet roll every year, making the UK the third biggest consumer of toilet paper in the world. And Mintel’s Household Paper Products report, published this year, also found that Brits spent a massive £1.1 million on toilet paper in 2018 alone.

I remember reading that it was one of the risks of no-deal Brexit. Fresh food would be prioritised over things like toilet paper. Was an early entrepreneurial idea

 

I thought I saw something said about people were avoiding chinese food. Well apart from that being daft, what's even dafter is they then went and bought all the Italian pasta off the supermarket shelves instead...hmmm, now how does that figure?

 

I doubt all the pasta sold in the UK is made in Italy...

 

I doubt all the chinese food sold in the UK is made in China either.

 

No but people are stupid.

Not going to shoehorn Brexit into the debate

 

So your suggesting all the people with the bog roll are brexiters, and all the people with shhite still hanging out their arses are remainers, right i get yer
