'Really British' Buying

Just ordered 2 calanders from Wendy Mackenzie, Brentfords local artist.Veg for Christmas day from my local farmer and meat from my local butcher... not overly expensive. Am i being too supportive to British trade/indusrty? does this support make me racist?

I think she's alluding to the 'Really British' shop in Muswell Hill, the owner has been called racist for only selling British themed gifts.

sorry Keith... though you have presented another dilemma.low end cars? ive got a blue one. do you think it might be one? it starts in the rain but only on thursdays. I bought it from a very nice man on e-bay. ;)

Don't over react Sarah..you didn't annoy me at all I was just hoping that your 'dilemma' was a false one as it obviously is.Buy British and bugger what anyone thinks! (except for low end cars 'coz they are usually rubbish..)

well im not being serious Keith... sort of thinking out loud, being thought prevoking, having an opinion. Sorry if i annoyed you, i'll buy next years calander from China and keep my gob shut. :(

'..does this support make me racist'. Are you being silly or serious Sarah?

Personally I can't see how that could be racist. We are always being told to shop local. Would be interested to know where your local farmer is though.
