oil
###bearing in mind the future opting out of the europe mafia ....we have decided to buy all british we can... in favour of our own country ......one of the things we are now buying on a regular basis is rapeseed oil for cooking and drizzling ......it is marked british and is nearly half the price of the mafia olive oil which seems to change in consistency bottle by bottle....it is almost half the price of the olive oil ....i had with breakfast today mushrooms gently fried and the flavour was numero uno......they in europe are trying to bully us but if we all bought rape seed oil which is a lovely yellow colour with nothing added it would start to show them......they can stick there olive oil while saving us some money ......just try it .....its the biz.......cappy

Re: oil
thinking about the black stuff{oil not people} how would it be to our economy if we did favour the side of fracking all cars on roads would{could} run on gas cleaner air cheaper and we would not have to kiss so many ar.es in the middle east? the greens and tree huggers want clean air but against drilling for gas we do it in the north sea heat our homes with it and yet the same that want clean green Britain are against it why ?? any thoughts people.. jp
