That's really interesting. So what you're saying is, Germany sold more to the states than they bought, but the states were able to "keep" the money by marking off that Germany had so much gold.

And I guess now, Germany is concerned that the states may no longer honour that ledger.

And now we just wait for the inevitable US lift of the embargo, while conveniently forgetting to apply the tariffs.

Alleyway of origin, more like.

I think I've said before; If I can't be certain of the origin of the chicken, I just won't eat it in the future.

I would consider teaching, if it wasn't paid/worked like a passion job.
Overworked, underpaid, and any push-back inconveniences the kids, so you feel guilty.

And at the other extreme, the guy with a 10 year old photo who never logs in, listed as "software engineer".
Who has enough experience and knowledge to rebuild a social network.

I love pom-bears, but love Lidl's Teddy's Hit even more.
Unfortunately, I've never seen them for sale in the UK.

North Taytos, or South Taytos?
A very important question.

I quite like the tesco finest crinkle cut ready salted.
150g bag for £1.25 or so. The only downside is, the flavour varies (I think it's the freshness of the oil for that batch).

Tyrell's are good.
They're owned by KP Snacks, a UK based company, who also make:

This is a bit pathetic.
And we well know that appeasement of Drumpf achieves nothing; They'll be back on the moment anything vaguely uk-related annoys him.

I tend not to stick to a brand, normally just whoever seems to have a half decent product.
Mostly it seems to be the extra special/taste the difference/No.1 branded stuff the supermarkets do.

(Which often comes off the same production lines with minor differences)
