Not a guaranteed and regular supply from one Italian company

Why would the U.K. want to get coffee from Italy to sell to Ireland, more importantly why would Ireland buy coffee from England when they can get it direct from Italy.....

 

[SteveSC]

I’m not Irish, I’m English, my family were Irish......

Obviously missed the joke there.

In any case how does using your families heritage prove or backup a point?

You have used that before. I worked with a lad who's Grandparents were Italian he was born in the US and he hates Italians.

It's like using i have a colored friend routine using your heritgae to make a point about standing on the right side of history.

Abused it for 800 years before we won it back

He said the distributors were in England. Jesus wept read his posts.

The Coffee gets shipped to the UK and then distributed to places around presumably the UK and into Ireland as well.

I thought you said you knew how logistics worked.

The British Empire saw our people go around the world. We extracted value from most countries, gold, precious metals, food, wood and other materials etc. Can you tell me what we extracted from Ireland other than potatoes and meat...which we could grow and rear here anyway......

Good grief.

Economies of scale
As a man who claimed to have worked for the government I am surprised you dont know how business works
Your ignorance of business matters is only surpassed by your ignorance of History

He's done this before with Farage and May I think.

Needs locking up.

He is a defrocked priest and a nutcase.

Now as I’ve explained before, my family, both sides, came from Ireland and lived through at least 730 of those 800 years. Now I appreciate that I’m not Irish enough for you guys, but earlier you said I’m below contempt. So what do you think quoting ‘a few million gallons of blood for a start’ says about you. Again I will ask as you insist you know all about its history, exactly what did the British extract from Ireland.....

You apparently...the last bastion of Empire proclaiming superiority over all others from the sanctuary of a village pub.

So you believe it’s cheaper to have a three party supply chain rather than a two party supply chain...I did work for the government, I didn’t work for the government, and I do know how business works. Besides running some fairly large elements of multinational large companies, I also ran a number of smaller companies besides two other companies that I fully owned and an additional one that I am a partner in. So you can test me in any way you wish on running a business because I do have a clue what is involved. I’ll grant you that my history of Ireland may not go back 800 years, which is why I asked you......,
