The pound is down 19 percent against the U.S. currency and down 16 percent against the euro, forcing suppliers and retailers to battle for profits as imported goods get more expensive. Now that fight could be hitting supermarket shelves...

..."While politicians can deny reality, a shampoo produced on the continent is now 17 percent more expensive,"... "This isn't about Tesco or Unilever but about all UK retailers and suppliers."

Shortages of some of Britain's best loved brands such as Marmite, a brown yeast-extract spread, would be a clear illustration for consumers of the turbulence unleashed by the Brexit vote.

"If people are worried about losing Marmite from Tesco, wait until they find out about jobs...,"

...The standoff dominated the news in Britain on Thursday, with "Marmitegate" trending on Twitter and "Marmite Wars" splashed on the front pages. The Daily Mail dubbed it "Brexit Blackmail".

Unilever has declined to comment on the specifics of the row but its Chief Financial Officer Graeme Pitkethly said on Thursday that price increases were the normal response to a devaluation, adding that the scope of the increases was "substantially less" than what was needed to cover the hit.

"We are confident that this situation will be resolved pretty quickly," he said.

...Most analysts and economists believe the slump will lead to higher grocery prices, following years of deflation due to a price war between the big chains.

...A poll taken by Britain's Food and Drink Federation (FDF) between Sept. 16 and Oct. 7 showed three-quarters of British food manufacturers had seen an increase in the price of imported ingredients since the vote, and 63 percent reported a decrease in profit margin.

But since "good" can mean different things to different people, the lists will be as diverse as the people creating them. All in all, pretty much useless to another user.

Nonetheless there ARE a few constants vis-a-vis "good":

• It is good to be alive
• Titty Tuesday is good
• Lady Lorilei is a good girl

I didn't make the naughty or nice lists.

Also, people should come with an automatic mute button that engages when they say "but".

I'm not a racist but

I'm sorry but

I may get in trouble for this but

I'm not a homophobe but

Lorilei being the most consistent good of all. She's a love. I'd stand behind this list.

I once got a PM warning me of how amazing Lorelei was.


I believed it.

Still do.

Labview!

That is an easy programing language. But, I do recommend that you go to NI school for it.

I understand. I just have never seen canned cheese.

I have only see cheese in a can when it's Spam with Cheese.

My wife did bring some canned haggis back from Europe. It was unremarkable.

Pfft, I will be here to console you once the Cubs choke in game 7 of the World Series.

Well, now you're just asking for it.

Pfft, I will be here to console you once the Cubs choke in game 7 of the World Series.

We shall see. I'm always up for a friendly wager.

I was getting that old familiar feeling watching game 4 the other night.
