  RE: Fruit Tree Propagation: Europe leaves little room in market for UK Reply Contact I find that we in the UK try hard but we are always up against the obstacle of being not fully integrated with Europe. Firstly the Pound is always an obstacle always varying with the Euro and preventing long term objectives and planning from being formed and implemented. Secondly we are not integrated into their R&D with always trying to do our own thing and not co-operating closely with European businesses and research establishments particularly at a grower level. Thirdly we are an isolated island and are to fiercely independent , the knowledge path is not connected well with Europe, with few at all levels in the UK industry speaking the European lingo.

We need to go over to the Euro currency system without any more delay?

  RE: Fruit Tree Propagation: Europe leaves little room in market for UK Reply Contact What a load of rubbish. The last few years have been excellent, we have buying cheap from off the continent, because of the exchange rate. And then as soon as the pound goes the wrong way we must join the Euro as everything is too expensive. What we have got to STOP doing is trying to buy everything CHEAP, and support British industry, exactly the same as what Holland, France etc does. As with the other countries we have got to be more nationalist.
