So what do we export ?

[snotsnfarts]

As we know that stirling is low agaist the Euro and Dollar and to get us on our feet again we need to sell ourselves to the rest of the world, but what do we export that is actually British owned ?

[RobDickinson]

Cornish pasties?

Labour have done a good job increasing our skilled people exports.

[VetteG]

One of our biggest exports is whisky, or in the case of N Ireland whiskey!

Weapons, ammunition, beef, whisky, beer the list is endless.

[jesta1865]

whisky apparently

that rough Scottish type, not the triple distilled Irish loveliness they call whiskey.

O/T anyone else remember the minder episode where George Cole gets nabbed by a Scottish villain as he had sold him a load of whiskey from the govt bar. the Scottish guy had the hump as it was whiskey not whisky, and George Cole got out of a beating by telling them it was because it was govt issue, so subject to a 'E' notice hence the spelling

Same here. Railway fastenings.

Pork. Not much, but the weak pound is helping because the continental stuff is getting more expensive to import.

But all the feed wheat and soya we import is also getting more expensive.


Bugger.

ETA: buy more loins you buggers. Just 'cos the credit is crunching, doesn't mean you can live off sausages all the time. They may be tasty, but they're not good for you. Unless you plan on buying chicken instead, in which case they are an excellent choice for every meal.

I may or may not have a vested interest in the level of pigmeat consumption.

Software, my company writes it in the UK but sells it in the rest of the world.

Motorsport related stuff is one of our greatest exports, maybe not in actual tangible products, but consultancies etc.

Racing cars Lots of them. Not sure if we still do, but we used to make all the Indycars, and plenty of cars, chassis and engines from other series. Plus most of the F1 teams are based here: Mclaren and Williams for instance, and even Ferrari have their design house and gearbox manufacture in the UK I believe.
