The devalued currency has made imports more expensive, cutting into the margins of many British businesses and making some unsustainable. One pound bought just over €1.30 on the eve of the vote, compared to just €1.09 now.
Southern Salads ceased trading “with immediate effect” on Wednesday after 31 years supplying local restaurants and supermarkets.
The company relied on European companies for its supplies and had invested heavily in new facilities in the hope of expansion but this did not materialise.

Kent's voters echoed the mood of the nation by delivering an almost unanimous LEAVE vote.
Tonbridge and Malling voted leave by 41,229 votes to 32,792.

Yes, it was yesterday. Exploratory op (an -oscopy...no, don't ask me what it's really called) to see what's the extent of it next Tuesday and a biopsy at the same time. Then they decide what to do next.HindleA wrote:Any developments on the Mrs Roger/'er indoors front;I believe there was a scheduled appointment earlier in the week?(unless I have missed an update)
So, we'll hope for the best and hope they don't find anything too nasty in there.

People voted the way they did for different reasons and "similar" Labour MP's with the same leave/remain vote had wholly different GE results,neighbouring ones did here.
