Shopkeepers' fury as EU prepares to ban selling eggs by the dozen

[Browney]

I love the idea of a shopkeeper being off his ****, blood boilingly angry that he cant sell his eggs by the dozen. Like he's going through a difficult period with his wife, he cant sleep at night, he's turned to drink because he cant sell eggs by the dozen. :L

...and slipping. The EU is the biggest trading area and the USA second.

Sounds OK to me. These grants have a purpose and the development boards will be very strict on their usage (my mum deals with EU funding in her job). The ITV could have done something similar and get the funding but they don't.

I very much doubt it matters to most people whether we are first on the list or twentieth. We are not slipping, merely the developing countries are catching up and with bigger populations a few may overtake us. The United Kingdom has stayed at the top of that list for over 300 years I expect, and will remain at least in the top 20 for the next 100 years - thats no reason to sign away our liberties. I have said it before and I will say it again, the anglo-phobia of the EU project just shines through time after time in its desire to rival the United States in almost everything.

You said the change will confuse older people thus suggesting that they are dumb and won't be able to count to 6. They probably wont care even if it said 60000000000000g as long as there was 6 eggs in the box. Tell me, when you go to buy eggs, do you really look at the box to make sure it says "6 eggs"? Most people probably wont even notice the difference.

No I don't agree with everything Labour did / wanted. I have rarely ever repped you in debates / this forum as we all have our opinions. If I have then I apologise and I will PM brandon requesting him to remove it if you can let me know when I repped you. Someone else posted exactly what EU gives us, so there really is no point in me repeating it. Like I said, little changes doesn't matter when you look at the greater picture.

I have explained 6 times that Sammeth banned me the day after you linked me.

It will confuse older people because as I have explained time and time again, older people did not learn the metric system in school and are used to the imperial system which is the British system of measurement and weight. As for the European Union and its supposed benefits, i've read into it and read into it and I just cannot find one good thing about its existence which isnt overriden by its corruption/cost/loss of sovereignty.

I asked the question about 10 times in the thread and each time you ignored my question, this was before you were apparently banned so please dont play me around on that one. Its dead and buried anyway.
