A big thank you to those who voted for Brexit

Ah ha, Muse yes, ok. ? It was actually Biba I think who started the tea thing!

But it still pertains (re cost) even though the tea is a silly aside.

I will hold out for a Bentley, thank you.

I doubt whether Ian Parkes will be buying a Bentley any time soon.

with a pinch of Cornish Sea Salt:
I usually buy Cornish sea salt

After watching Rick Stein's programme I looked for outlets for Cornish Gouda but there are none around here, sadly.

Cornish sea salt?

As an Essex girl I can tell you that the very best British sea salt is Maldon sea salt, renowned worldwide...

Absolutely correct MaizieD ??

Don't start me on salt Callistemon!

Callistemon

I think nanna8 lives in Australia, biba

We could grow our own tea, apparently it grows well here in the UK.

It should grow well in parts of the UK. It's part of the camellia genus and they grow well. I suspect though that it would be difficult to find pickers.

Actually Dinahmo there's the well known plantation discussed above that's been going for some time now, also a Welsh one - the name escapes me - and I think there is an association of Scottish tea growers, so presumably several in Scotland.

Blackthorn salt from Ayr really is the best

I've just checked out the Welsh tea estate and they are also growing Sichuan pepper!

What about Halen Mon sea salt from Anglesey, sold in all the best supermarkets, including Harvey Nicks - gourmet choice?

So much salt!!

Pity it’s not too good for us.. the Halen Mon online shop is lovely too though.

Everything in moderation

Halen Mon sea salt from Anglesey that's the one I use. Very "strong"; a little goes long way.

I used to get that pink salt but they said it had additives that are bad for you so I’ve gone back to whatever it is Aldi uses in its salt grinders. Didn’t realise there were that many different ones, tbh

I haven't bought salt for cooking for years. The only salt I ever buy is to grit my front path. Is one sort better than another?

Certain foods need salt though. I know it is bad for you but I have to have salt on chips and boiled eggs. I can do without it on other things.

I blame the Daily Mail and everyone who reads it. I don’t know anyone who reads this regularly who didn’t vote to leave. Must be wrong but that’s how it seems.

Press Gazette analaysis has found that overall, national press coverage was strongly weighted in favour of Leave in the month leading up to the referendum.

Four national newspaper titles were found to be strongly biased in favour of Leave through their choice of front-page stories: the Daily Express, Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph and The Sun.

Data from the British Election Study found that some 70 per cent of Sun and Daily Express readers voted Leave in the referendum, followed by 66 per cent of Daily Mail readers, 55 per cent of Daily Telegraph readers and 44 per cent of Daily Mirror readers.

A report by NatCen, called Understanding the Leave Vote, said: “The balance of pro- and anti- Leave positions of the newspapers was important given how many people read them, particularly the popular press. It is interesting to note that, when it came to the EU Referendum vote, people were more likely to follow the position of the newspaper they read than the political party they identify with.”

Varian Your post reminded me of the Sun's response - "It was the Sun wot won it" Front page headline when Blair and Labour won the election in 1992.

It’s significant that the majority in Liverpool voted remain unlike similar areas. The Sun is largely boycotted in Liverpool because of its comments after the Hillsborough tragedy.

That's interesting Nandalot - I didn't know that about Liverpool and remain.

I wonder how many of the Guardian’s 10 readers voted to leave?!
