My fear is that the Tories get a working majority and then push through a no-deal. You may well be right, Howard. However, to be fair, the HoC has had many opportunites to pass a deal and on every occasion has found one or more reasons to vote it down. If we end up after a General Election leaving ...

Heinz Salad Cream
Colman's Old English Mustard
Branston Pickle (original and small chunk)
Daddie's Brown Sauce

If you could arrange these to be sold in the Sitia area, markatsos, I'd be extremely grateful.
