retep Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Do they? That's not entirely certain:- https://www.ft.com/content/2b7c4192-d04d-11e7-9dbb-291a884dd8c6 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/britons-majority-in-favour-of-public-vote-on-final-brexit-deal-uk-politics-a8089161.html https://infacts.org/public-want-final-say-brexit-deal/ Regardless, staying in the single market and customs union entirely respects the referendum result. About as certain as your claim, "the majority of existing and potential Labour voters back Britain remaining in single market and customs union:" and probably nearer the mark.

area 51 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 That's nonsense of course. The bigger the company the more efficient it is and the more margin is made on each item. Nor is there any requirement to generate a greater % profit, it's just easier to do so. I work for a big company and trust me we need to make a lot more profit to break even compared to small independent companies.Most of our profit disappears to share holders.Our small independent competitors undercut us all the time because they don't need to make a margin as big as we do.

mafya Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 NMW is going up in April and prices will rise but not many will be quick to blame it on the NMW but may blame it on Brexit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retep Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Taken from the article. "A Pladis spokeswoman added: "These changes are not in response to any one event. Like many other companies across the UK, we are making changes in response to changing market conditions and the increased cost of ingredients." Brexit not mentioned here, false news maybe?. Angel1. not one mention, "Pladis, the firm which owns UK brands including McVitie's and Jacob's, is to reduce a selection of pack sizes, it said. Increased costs and the falling value of Sterling have made it more expensive to bake its variety of products, Pladis added. As a result, a pack of McVitie's Digestives biscuits will now be 400g - equivalent to removing seven biscuits from a pack of 34. The company, which produces a large range of Britain's favourite snacks, said it was the first change to McVitie's Digestives in many years. Pladis said the changes to the biscuits, due to hit shelves at the end of January, marked the start of "selective changes to a small proportion" of its 700-strong portfolio of biscuits and snacks. It added that the changes will also include the introduction of larger value packs. A Pladis spokeswoman added: "These changes are not in response to any one event. Like many other companies across the UK, we are making changes in response to changing market conditions and the increased cost of ingredients." The firm said it conducted "extensive research" with 10,000 customers who said the "the taste and quality that makes Pladis’s biscuits and snacks the best in the market should never be compromised." Pladis has already reduced the number of cakes in a standard box of Jaffa Cakes from 12 to 10, while recent months have seen changes to many other products including Maltesers and Toblerone.

The Joker Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 not one mention, First mention: The size of a 500g packet of Digestives is to shrinking by 100g due to rising costs in the wake of the Brexit vote. Second mention: Increased costs and the falling value of Sterling have made it more expensive to bake its variety of products, Pladis added. Third mention: Nick Bunker, Pladis UK & Ireland Managing Director, said: “The rising cost of ingredients and changes in the exchange rates means it has become more expensive to bake our products." Now please tell me what happened to the value of Sterling after the referendum vote? And please tell me what effect would that have on the cost of imported goods?

Magilla Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) About as certain as your claim, "the majority of existing and potential Labour voters back Britain remaining in single market and customs union:" It's not my claim. and probably nearer the mark. "Probably". Doesn't sound like you're that certain either Edited January 21, 2018 by Magilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
