"....can tell you about the History....some day.." - she's lived and she's lived thoroughly - as a result, she could tell us the histories of all of these breweries at some unspecified time in the future
"latest news Marks and Spencer are closing 11 Shops." - Marks and Spencer is a British retailer that is closing 11 shops (in France where Dianne lives, though she doesn't specify that this is where the closings are occuring - source:
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-58582860) - apparently this also the latest news in France or that Dianne has read
"Stores down due to Brexit...." - apparently, the news is reporting that these stores are closing as a result of financial difficulties incurred by Brexit
"Pants I say...." - 'Pants' is british slang for "rubbish" or "nonsense". Whether Dianne is directing this light invective towards the explanation for the closures or rather simply the closures themselves is, so far, unclear
