S’bout time we started to look at the prospect of “trading with ourselves and the rest of the world” as the way forward after Brexit…
Nothing wrong with this article. I bet there’s some folk on here who remember one or more of these posters - on a side of a building where they live…?

I am all for it but were can you buy anything made in great Britain.
If you go into stores,even better more expensive ones the clothes are all made abroad.
Buy a new car it might be made over here but profits go to another eu company.
The truth is this country is now a supermarket country whose assets have been sold to coms. in the eu and beyond.

Yes let’s grow our own veg in green planters, perhaps keep some animals too? And go back to half-day closures, no Sunday opening etc etc.
Unfortunately the world has moved on since those days. Most stuff is imported or if the end product isn’t then elements of it are.
Even the infrastructure has gone…

Not allowed to ‘keep the home fires burning’ due to smoke control zones now…
Is this so the foreign owned utility companies can milk even more out of you with your central heating going and having to cook on gas or electric…■■?

I’m talking about those of us who grew up seeing ads like this all over the place where we grew up… Surely relics from nearly a century ago?
You don’t have to have been alive in the war to have seen such “wall ads”…?
Harold Wilson ran an ‘I’m backing Britain’ campaign in the 1960s…which I can just remember.
Bit more complicated now…you can buy a Triumph motorbike made in Thailand, a Royal Enfield motorbike made in India, an MG car made in China, and a Toyota, Honda or Nissan car or DAF truck made in England.
Then there are BMC trucks made in Turkey, and Leylands in India.
And fashion brand SuperDRY, which looks Japanese, was started by a bloke from a market stall in Cheltenham.
