    Oops! Sorry BFP. Didn't really mean to say that, fake news!

    The last bit wasn't aimed at him though, just an observation that Brexiters appear to throw out the 'Project fear' at anything negative which is mentioned.

    No worries. As well as misquoting their opponents, Brexiteers will never make confident predictions about anything. They’ll just say “we don’t know what will happen” as if that’s a good reason to do anything.

    The idea of “Project Fear” was never more than a really good campaigning strategy to argue against reality.

    Some of you seem to have a problem understanding how lower prices might mean increased profits.

    I can give you many examples .....but here are a few

    20 years ago nobody bought solar panels, the technology was there but it was too expensive....so nobody really bothered buying them and the manufacturers never made a profit....now the price is one-twentieth of what it was, to the point that nuclear and coal power stations are obsolete, cost wise....now there are thousands of solar panel manufacturers all making a healthy profit.

    I can extend my argument to many other products where the price is cost-prohibitive and nobody is making a profit....look at Notts as an example....AH comes in and does a load of deals, people get the bug, turnover rises....AH MAKES MORE OF A PROFIT from lower prices....simples....Bradford did this 10 years ago and never looked back

    Personally I cannot afford milk more than once a week...it's too damn expensive, which is why I drink beer spiked with tequila....a lot cheaper with twice the buzz.....obviously if the price goes down on milk I might drink more....or use the savings to buy another beer!!......undecided.

    Wetherspoons is a prime example of that.

    Solar panels are a new technology in a field which is expanding rapidly thanks to growing awareness of environmental issues.

    Wetherspoons buys alcoholic drinks at a reduced price just before their expiry date and sells them cheaply.

    I have a problem seeing how either of those can be applied to dairy farming.

    It was in response to selling things at a lower price and still making a good profit.
