Britain's only tea-grower enjoys record sales as Brexit fuels worldwide 'interest in Britishness'
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/04/britains-only-tea-maker-enjoys-record-sales-as-brexit-fuels-worl/But now Britain is selling a record amount of tea to China because the vote for Brexit has fuelled interest in Britishness, according to the country’s only tea-grower.
Tea sales are expected to be up around 30 per cent this year at the Tregothnan Estate in Cornwall, with countries such as China, Singapore and the United States taking a particular interest in the British brew.

All the good new stuff was made good as a member of the European Union. Reading the amazing menu out aloud to justify leaving the restaurant to go elsewhere isn't logical.Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.0 -

Phones still work, and Frankfurt is a 3 hour flight from London. They'll make it work if they need to be in Frankfurt in order to actually do their business.
That said, Dublin is going to be the easiest option for them.
given there is no particular skill in financial service but lots of money, it is a wonder that every country in europe (or indeed the whole world) doesn't already have a strong competitive sector already0 -
