The kids are OK
My wife balances out my views...and I am not as extreme as my post suggests.
But I ask you, why buy French apples or cheese when we have just as good here. I am mostly coming at it from an economic point of view, and one which does not get much airing becuase it is not politic to do so. ie. we are as a nation competing economically with other nations, and I see it as our duty to buy British where you can. If you go to Germany, see how many cars are German made, but also go into their supermarkets and see where their food is made. Basically what I am saying is that Europeans are far more sensitive to supporting their own production. Something which I am glad to say is happening here with teh rise of farmers markets, etc.

Of course there is now an environmental argument behind mine, but if you ask anyone who has been involved in agriculture over the past decade or so you will hear some very robust views on Europe.
