    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You know full well neither of thos can be compared with UK. Japan has a population willing and wanting to follow every single instruction. We have one wanting to do the opposite. New, Zealand is isolated, has a relatively tiny population generally living miles apart. Look at what happens around...

    Thanks Oyster. When mine arrives the drugs I end up on make me feel worse than the AF itself. Had 15 months clear so hoping next op gets a bit longer.. Good luck with yours.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's hardly a recommendation is it. And actually suspect Guradian is more biased. The media throughout our current predicament have been appalling. Perhaps for right reasons, ie questioning government because opposition doesn't, but for a number of reasons mass swathes of public have...

    Yep, I feel a, little like that. My AF return was accompanied by 2 mini strokes but fortunately no lasting damage. Getting older with mis spent youth??? But better than alternative I suppose but had to reduce biking, sailing etc etc...

    I, m truly sorry to hear that flecc,both the heart problem and lack of vaccine. My daughters (one health care worker, other first responder fire service) and all the people over 80 I know (approx 6) have had the current vaccine. Two NHS nurses on our street are training as we speak in...

    He doesn't need to. They have both ample support and unfortunately diminishing opposition. Folk have not woken up to the fact that, Labour have not only destroyed themselves they have undermined the entire system in doing so. Between Corbyn, Unite, McClusky and St armer Labour opposition has...

    Its all going to revolve around what MHRA say about Astra Zeneca. Hopefully on 28th... The 3 week delay sums up the problem with EU, its so large it can't make decisions quickly. USA have had same problem. I already know more folk who have had the vaccine than who have had cvd 19..yep that's...

    That's rubbish and dangerous OG. No government could have avoided this. Yes, perhaps lockdown earlier or stronger. Who knows. Starmer in charge?? Or perhaps IDS? All the time Boris has been between devil and deep blue sea. One faction telling us Covid is no worse than flu and destroying economy...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, I didn't but have had communication explaining on my return to France event will be dealt with... No idea what that means but much as I can't see them locking me up at Calais it isn't very encouraging with respect to the their "authorities".

    I, d agree they certainly have more stringent rules. Enforcing them, well that's different. I used to take my Enduro motorbike into foothills of Pyrenees,would transport it there in the van. Went one day and to my shock a sign had gone up in an attempt to ban all motorised vehicles. I ignored...

    Countries we should be compared to are France etc.. Or look at Isle of Man... Life normal there. There are reasons. And one is the stupidity of many on our shores. Our local primary school had a report that a parent had had a +ve cvd test. Head approached the lady who insisted she had not...

    When we left France (had house near Perpignan for 10 years) it wasn't worth bringing Renault home. It failed CT so we decided to scrap it. Took it to local "reprocessing plant". Scrapped vehicle, got 150 Euros for it along with 3 certificates declaring vehicle scrapped. One needed to close...

    Integrity in the name of profit?? And rather poor for environment. Throwing away not one probably perfectly good tyre... But two.. Tyres should be changed by necessity. Three for price of two etc type bargains should be banned. There is a lot of rubbish talked about tyres not matching. Same...

    Love it... And it's true... Danidl Did you teach them much? I always found French slow on uptake and rather hard to teach. A bit lazy if I, m honest.
