I don’t disagree with you at all I was just suggesting that Brexit has come at a bad time for manufacturing in the uk. manufacturing, and the whole economy needs just the sort of cheap young Labour that we’ve sent back to Europe.

Unfortunately for years now, in global terms, we’ve had a low-skilled workforce and low-productivity issues. It’s only getting worse with Brexit Manufacturing will go to countries with cheap, flexible and skilled Labour and a technologically progressive culture. High wage economies like ours...

I have a pair of the series 7 Avon quiver 12’ that I would sell as I’m not going to use them anytime soon . The problem is both the Avon sections are a few inches short and I only have one bag. I did buy some replacement tips for the quiver sections. I wouldn’t be looking for top dollar for them
