It seems business doesn't seem too bothered about brexit!

"Stockpiling by manufacturers ahead of Brexit helped the UK economy grow by 0.3% in the three months to February."

And will have consequences down the line when the stocks are depleted back to normal levels.

Ilie Nastasi- Kazi?

[Peter Pedant]

you cd cope with that by accruals
( charging for the goods internally at the time you use them and not buy them, yeah yeah technical Iknow)
but there will be an on-cost for storage ( per unit )
and natural wastage ( rot and rat eat)

and foo! let me assure you business IS bothered
and is now saying that certainty is of prime importance
either way

[fiction-factory]

[Tilly2]

[Peter Pedant]

hi FF - khazi also means "judge"

isnt it used in that sense in Karry on ubba Khyber? - sid James et al
( not a very good word for 'qadi' which is urdu and arabic for er 'judge'

This is a lovely example of BBC spin.
Take a little bit of good news but prominently emphasise the 'negatives' two or three times (in bold type - so that the mob can't miss it) before correcting it in the final paragraph.
