There are plenty of British made cycles

Other than very expensive British made cycles what others are made in Britain?

Foie de canard is equally delicious.

My wife and I don't like foie gras, but we don't like smoked salmon or truffles either.

EU firms refuse UK deliveries over Brexit tax changes

Some EU specialist online retailers have said they will no longer deliver to the UK because of tax changes which came into force on 1 January.

Bicycle part firm Dutch Bike Bits said from now on, it would ship to every country in the world except the UK.

"We are forced by British policy to stop dealing with British customers," it said on its website.

Another firm, Belgium-based Beer On Web, said it was now shunning the UK "due to the new Brexit measures".

The companies are angry because they now face higher costs and increased bureaucracy in order to comply with UK tax authorities.

However, it is unclear how many have taken the drastic step of refusing all UK orders.

At the same time, international shipping companies including Federal Express and TNT have said they are levying additional charges on shipments between the UK and the EU.

They said this reflected the increased investment they had had to make in adjusting their systems to cope with Brexit.

There are plenty of British made cycles and people just need to get into the mindset of buying British .  Im sure the Dutch  bikes are decent but we dont need them so its no loss .

Wait 'til you want to bring back a few cans of confit de canard, lapin au moutarde, foie gras, or some cheeses — will they be allowed to the UK with or without checking...?

I suspect the problem will be either they won't be allowed into the UK if you are a tourist, and/or at some time in the not too distant future tax will have to be paid.
(There is a long list of prohibited items that were not there before.)

Complaining about raising geese by feeding them the same amount they'd stuff themselves with if left to their own devices, while happily eating meat from industrial slaughterhouses could be regarded as the ramblings of an allotment brain infected with carrot fly...

confit de canard, lapin au moutarde, foie gras,

I don't know about the ducks and rabbits and no one can call me any sort of sentimentalist, but I reckon that any whore's melt who supports the torturing of geese to destroy their livers and make foie gras, should have their balls placed in the nut crackers that I purchased the last time I was in the Languedoc and be made to test their effectiveness.
