I’ve been using this for a few months, it’s very good… or maybe I should say “muy bueno”

But that’s not backpacking. It’s a journey without those limits to allow you freedom to change your mind.

I didn’t do it much but when I backpacked I tended to avoid public transport (hitch hiking) and would often just sleep in a city park or railway station. Different times now but it was part of the journey

HomeExchange looks good and is European.

It naturally lacks the depth of listings that Airbnb does but will grow if people use them

If they really want to boil our piss, put “English (American)” as the only option. Or or, a little American flag next to “English”. Oo, I’m engaging myself right now.

Thanks for posting, this is really useful as I’m in the UK so it presents lots of local options for me.

Believe it ormnot: stock goes up

Thanks, it’s helpful to help alignment said course each of us then have more localised interests but to be aligned on the primary goal helps enforce

Got you, so do we avoid buying Stellantis cars because am element of the ownership is American? Or because they’re based on NL they get a pass?

Haha, that would be fantastic. Or until Vance says sorry for disrespecting Zelenskyy just for the shit n giggles

He’d not get it out of Trump but 100% you could cause division by Trump insisting that Vance has to do it :)

Loving the clarity of China’s position on this

We never seemed to be particularly constructive in our involvement.

I almost feel it’s better for the EU if area separate entity that they can deal with if they choose (and vice versa naturally)

How would that manifest itself sorry?

Do you mean we’re America’s bitch so we’d use our influence as part of the EU to campaign for things that benefit the US? That seems plausible

You know what they say “one good urn deserves another”

… Owned by US Parent Edgewell Personal Care so as far as I’m concerned they’re dead to me.

Great dialogue thou as really helps my learning

I went for Harringtons in the end as they seem to have a good balance between value:nutrition, are european and similarly priced going direct which helps.

I mention mostly to be told I’ve made the wrong decision for future learning lol

Yup, but you can see why a user may feel that a UK item shouldn’t feature in a “Made in EU” repository. The confusion wouldn’t exist if it was, say, called “Made in Europe” and I think it’s clear why it’s not called that

Fabulous response, I wish I could upvote you twice!

I recall those brands from a look a couple of years ago focused in food that was better for them so I’ll definitely take a look down this route.

The great thing is, my cats seem to hate food that they loved overnight so I’m not constrained by having to stick with their favorite lol

Thanks, this and TheRealJohnSmith’s dialogue is helping me to be a little more open to it

Thanks Emporor, great shout actually as I feel reassured that I’m mostly spending in the EU by shopping own brands in Lidl.

Germany seem to have a good reputation for quality cat food albeit at quite high price. I just need to suck it up and take the hit for the cause

You’re right. Clearly RT has more direct collusion with its government, I just get uncomfortable with people holding BBC up higher than any media
