I was slightly tongue in cheek. But I hope he maintains that position
He will for this week but next week who knows? He has proved to the country that he is not PM material. His dithering and non-committal to anything has showed us that he is playing games.
Although TBH I was listening to some bloke on the radio who was saying that Corbyn has stuck by his guns for years against the EU... So I guess I must give him a bit of credit for that.
 
I experienced my first Brexit price increase yesterday. Plasterboards at my local merchants have gone up by %6.3 due to the uncertainty of Brexit with other increases to follow.
Bob and if you believe plasterboard has increased in price just because of Brexit alone, then you need to seek help old chap, are you talking major well known merchant or a “local” one just trying it on.

How much is a sheet of plasterboard
Plasterboard has been going up over the last 5 years. CLS (stud work wood) has also been going up.
As a reporter said last week... "if you want, you can blame the snow on Brexit".

PS
It has also gone up in France which is nearly twice as expensive as the UK.

Back in your day every summer was long and glorious and every Christmas it snowed, so we can’t blame Brexit for the weather.

Materials in France about the same as here imo
Admit however there isn’t the same product competition in my experience

Pays to shop around
Just buying 4 300l water tanks
German made of course
£287 each in the U.K.
€169 each in France
€99 in Lidl Germany but no delivery to France

Online you need 3 Amazon accounts imo nowadays ... saved over £1000 buying Festool items that way for my renovation projects
 
I know but plasterboard? <laugh>...actually <laugh><laugh>

It’s French Ellers and although in the U.K. we do have new gypsum mines it’s still still cheaper to ship the raw material from Portugal

There is a new 75 year supply for the U.K. found in East Sussex so only bad news is that not enough UK trained staff .

I will keep you informed when I know whether the French decide to move all production for the U.K. back to France. It’s look highly likely at the moment as it’s projected that plasterboard will rise massively... new market opportunities to sell a product to the U.K.

Source a load of mates at St Gobain
Their future is very promising loads of money coming their way as they have a massive slice of the Englishman and his castle
