    It all comes down to picture quality if you ever need to resort to the camera footage following any kind of mishap or disaster on the road. If the latest NB 412 produces as good a picture as my 402G, you will be very satisfied Gringo. I have just transferred mine to my new car but I think I'll...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm afraid OG is far more tolerant of those who advocate 'Brexit' as well as those who fail to condemn it wholeheartedly than I am. For what it's worth, I have read and re-read your latest missive and yet again you have failed, (as has everyone else), to articulate any good reasons for exiting...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is very unfair of you Zlatan. I have considered only those things you have said in arriving at my own opinion of the worth of your contributions here. How else could I possibly come to believe that you are simply an internet troll who gets his kicks from winding up other people at long...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    How about this Dave? Farage looks into his crystal ball and decides to stand for parliament, seeing the writing on the wall for May. He wins a safe tory seat anywhere and is fast-tracked into the cabinet. After a year, he gets the backing of enough right-wingers to challenge for the...

    Two pieces of fairly current humour I heard today made me chuckle and I'm sharing in case you miss them as they do the rounds. You, of course, may not find them funny at all......on the other hand, you'll think they're hilarious if you're an Arsenal fan. 1) A Liverpool fan walks into a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Is there anything you'd like to explain to me or the small readership in general about the benefits of pursuing our exit from the EU? It seems that your only input is criticism of those who wish to see the UK remain within the EU but you have never contributed anything positive to encourage...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You have resorted again to the language of the playground 'tillson'. What you just wrote equals: 'We won; you lost, ha ha!' Regardless of that, moving on to your comment, 'let's get on with it', why should we commit economic and political suicide just because the uninformed and the misled...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Mike, that is a very poor articulation of facts and lies, mixed with assumptions and wishes. It ignores every obstacle that the 'Brexit' camp has faced since the referendum, all things they gave little or no thought to before the event. Misinterpreting the legal position of a referendum while...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm probably quite wrong here but has anyone else ever considered that our recently-joined forum troll, 'Zlatan' may be the alter-ego of an existing forum member? The profile doesn't give much away, (of course), but his choice of position in a discussion that he, if it is in fact a he, found...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    'tillson', I understand that it's very easy for those in the 'remain' camp to see the gaping holes in the 'Brexit' fantasy and forcefully point them out to those conned by professional agitators and rabblerousers. However, if you really insist on trying to defend the indefensible, surely it is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Good, thoughtful post that, 'homemoz' and I don't mean that in a condescending way. As for the question, I'm thinking and, paraphrasing the words of Captain Oates, 'I may be gone some time'...........Can I get back to you on that one? Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, I understand but you've probably forgotten that, in life, while some things are foolproof, certain things are simply not idiot-proof. Sometimes, one needs to just take a deep breath and move on.:rolleyes: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Dave Elderfield also alluded previously to the PM's magical ability to be abroad on 'crucial' diplomatic business whenever there exists the opportunity for her to be put on the spot in the Commons. It is the art of politics, I suppose, to be able to appoint quislings to thankless tasks then...
