@ClaireP20

No matter what side of the political fence you sit on, you wouldn't want to be Boris right now would you..
No way would I want to be a politician or the PM ever. (Boris Johnson wanted the top job and I can only think ' Karma' or be very careful what you wish for in life..)

Don't ground almonds come from Spain?

You have to go back

I do have Spanish heritage actually. Smile Also Flemish & Italian, and I’m happy to go wherever, but not if I had to cooperate with France’s racist refugee-shuffling policies.

GroundAlmonds · 21/12/2020 15:16

We have a frenchman in the family- do I need to send him back?

If you like him, maybe stick him in the shed until it all blows over? Smile

@Ellieboolou33

My guess is Boris will announce that Brussels sprouts are banned this Christmas, all the wind created by them could increase the risk of covid.
Great, just realised that I forgot to order brussel sprouts for the Christmas dinner. Blush

Some posters on MN are just loving this IMO.

I doubt anyone in the country is “loving this”. Maybe some very specialised pandemic perverts, I guess?

Got to laugh though, eh?

Laugh or cry?

Errr, no, not really.

GroundAlmonds · 21/12/2020 15:24

Well I do. I have to laugh and open the bourbon.

Now the second bit I can get behind.

Fromage!

I need to go back to Waitrose with a bigger car

There is a lot of French Cheese to stock up on.
That very odd soup in a jar which look vile but tastes quite nice as well.

Errr, no, not really.

Humour is LITERALLY the only thing keeping me sane today.
ChardonnaysPetDragon · 21/12/2020 15:25

I thought Brussels sprouts are banned by definition. We are leaving the EU after all.

But they are root vegetables dear, we can grow them here.

Perhaps they need to be ceremoniously be renamed.

You might need to be rationing that.

I can knock up an illegal still if you can get the corn.

They come from Norfolk Obviously no-one to plant any next year or harvest them of course.

@CuriousaboutSamphire thank you.

Or maybe they are just trying to make the best of it? It can't be changed so we have no choice but to get on with it. A negative mind will never make a positive life.

Perhaps it will be Boris belting out ‘O Come all Ye Faithful’

Audience of 1 for that then.

GroundAlmonds · 21/12/2020 15:29

I know. Sad Luckily I’m a lightweight so it lasts. Smile

That’s a deal.
