I've got wind of a 'renaming not remaining' department being set up by No.10


The brief is to rename everyday items and foods we enjoy, with a new 'non-EU' title. The idea is that there will come a time (much like decimalisation) where 'we' will soon forget the old, and the younger generations will adopt the New British version of a much loved item.


Sainsbury's have been running a trial already, I saw it last week. Potatoes Gratin advertised on the shelf label, showed "Potato and Cheese Bake" on the new packaging. Terminally dull and horribly off putting.


The facts and details are being kept secret thus far, but I'm going to hazard a guess and imagine some of my own. Feel free to add to the list.


Penne pasta bolognese, is to become 'Carbohydrate Tubes with minced beef & tomatoes'


Coq au Vin moves to 'Cock in Wine'


And I hear Parliament are to lobby France to return 'Le Weekend' back to us, in exchange for 'cul-de-sac'

In all it's fairly depressing and makes me despise Teressa 'Vinegar Tits' May even more.



C'Est la vie!

Half our language is of French origin, we're gonna have to go back to grunting*



Eau de Cologne - Bplash It All Over


French Doors - Cor Blimeys


Premier Inn - Lenny's Doss House


Deuce - Even Stevens


Brunette - Mousey Brown


Fianc? - Bird


Entente Cordiale - We Won The War So F*ck Off



*This can already be witnessed and learnt by striking up a conversation with a Black Cab driver...

Hopefully this will mean an end to the ridiculous teaching of the metric system in schools. Who cares if it makes far more sense and that most of the world uses it. We managed an empire and single handedly won two world wars with the imperial system. Roll back decimalisation too

Three penny bit will be back sharpish


I'll make it so :)

The real reason the ridiculously pretentious "courgettes" have disappeared from our shelves this January is now revealed: we can at last have our marrows back (at least when they have had time to demonstrate their British worth and grown to a proper size this coming October). Recipes on request ...

Exactly. I wrote to the BBC praising Planet Earth 2. Attenborough knew what he was doing by giving very cold temperatures in degrees Farenheit. It may not make any sense but it is a good British unit, and the American's love it too.


And what's all this business about using base ten. What's wrong with good old fashioned 12, or 16. It's all a European conspiracy.

Removing the word 'French' from many familiar things is making me review my previous levels of excitement.


Letters


Bread


Kissing


Man


They all seem so dull and ordinary without the F bit in front. God honestly, the future looks bleak.


And the thought of not being able to elope with the Au Pair , that'll kill some

Oh I don't know Seabag


We can go back to


French Letters replaced by johnnies


French bread replaced by long crusty roll


French kissing by snogging


French man by frog


As for the au pair , obviously you can now snog the nanny before taking her upstairs for a roll with your johnnie on in the frog position


What's not romantic about that ?

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
