It’s not the sunny uplands people were promised.

I've never seen them sausages before and even by the looks of them wouldn't buy them.

What do you think sausages should look like?

Think proves the guardian stories aren't much better than the rest always good to read a story , then research some more as papers seem good at only printing certain points

@Weedsnseeds1 Thankyou. I should try that.

They sell 300k packs a year and it's a quarter of their sales.

It's a British company that has successfully traded here for years.

The response 'they look crap' is not really very helpful!

Do you not care that this successful UK business has felt the best option is to source pork elsewhere to reduce red tape?

I don't get it.

You seem to essentially be saying well they can fuck off then and their produce looks shit...!!

You must admit that their business model of shipping tons of meat across the North Sea to be processed and then brought back again is somewhat unusual, if not actually unique. Surely they saw that there would be problems post-Brexit and made arrangements accordingly.

Because a Brexit trade deal agreed just days before the 31st December deadline allowed plenty of time for that?

Um, no.

Langoustines caught off Scotland are shipped to the Far East to be processed and then sent back to the UK.

I listened to this story on radio 4 the other day, they have looked to using a British factory but none of them make sausages to the same standard as the German company. Shame really, all round.
