I'm sorry to have to disagree with your assertion, 'Woosh' but you are correct only in as far as the general reciprocal health arrangements exist in principle. That is why those of us who travel extensively in Europe carry the EHIC card, (ex E111). Sadly, in some parts of Spain, heavily...

Spain has a great NHS but it is hugely expensive, reflected in high travel insurance premiums. It pains me to say this but some of our ex-pat community, particularly the 'snowbirds' who spend 6 months in cheap winter rental accommodation really do take the proverbial when they are in Spain...

Just when one thought it was safe and free from antagonistic interruption to resume reporting and discussion of the biggest peacetime event in the last half-century to concern the peoples of Europe, the troll reappears with its usual non-constructive criticisms of some frequent contributors...

These reports on the efficacy of the slime product are causing me to lean towards using it in my tubes regardless of the fact I have MPs front and back. My reason is simply that I just can't be bothered with all the aggravation of mending a puncture at the road side, especially in winter...

7 Pages/3days - Life is good here! Perhaps returning to the village provided a less stressful way of life?:D Tom

It's 201 days since the referendum and I'm at a loss to see any improvement in the country's prospects for the future. As for the present, we can see some price rises beginning to appear and our currency has been effectively devalued as a direct consequence of the poll result. Beyond that, the...

Seems like they have really lost the plot! Tom

When did that happen? I don't remember it but I'm shocked - bloody foreigners coming over here and causing mayhem and disruption on our roads.....we need better immigration controls!:) Tom

I'm afraid Tillson, that the only people hell-bent on trashing the UK are the ignorant clowns who voted 'Brexit'. They were ignorant, and remain so, of any tangible benefits to the UK from exiting the EU yet they voted for it. Even when it was subsequently demonstrated to them unequivocally...

I most certainly can but perhaps it's lost on you. Tom

Well, according to today's news, we have nothing to worry about as the good ol' USA seems prepared to come to our rescue again as they did in WW2: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38565192 In a dramatic U-turn, President Obama's stated position in regard to 'Brexit' has been reversed by Trump's...

I still have one from the first year the Dremel hit the market and it has proved very reliable and well able to stand up to repeated use. It's amazing how many little jobs you will find for which the Dremel provides just the tool you want. I'm not fussed which accessories I use - cheap is ok...

Tillson can always be relied upon to provide his support for the avant-garde notion of 'Brexit' no matter how incredibly stupid the idea appears with every passing day. How serious are his views really? Well, I have it on good authority that this is the hand-dryer in the gardener's toilet area...

Sorry, you lost me there. Apart from the fact that such a 'policy' is diametrically opposed to the tory model of treating the nation's finances like a household budget, it makes no sense arithmetically, economically or logically. If there is any sound reason to produce extra money from thin...

Frankly, I don't see that it would have made any difference. We would still have the same people dithering over how to play it so we get the 'best deal possible', hedging our bets every step of the way. From the start, I have always believed that the best deal possible for the UK is full...

There is actually a moral dimension to this. I could ride an EAPC so removed from legal description that it would effectively be an unregistered motor vehicle but I don't. That doesn't make a me saint; it simply means I have respect for the law. Tom

I'm surprised you mention that as I don't understand any concerns the tory government puts out about the nation's finances. Neither do I understand when the BofE governor issues warnings about the economy. Why don't I understand? Simply because since the financial collapse of 2007-8, our...

OG, I really don't know why you bother, unless it's on the basis that even the most stupid of trolls have feelings too! This Pedelecs troll seems to view any kind of response to his nonsensical, off-topic posts, no matter how negative, as encouragement For that reason, I prefer to simply...

Why am I not surprised Dave? The people can take their pick as to what the referendum was about - was it the difficult to understand economic intricacies of EU membership or was it about the very simple to understand hatred (for whatever reason) of foreign people coming to the UK? My time on...

Ah! Finally, Mrs Maybe has responded to the criticisms levelled against her and her appointed minions by Sir Ivan Rogers by denying that their thinking is muddled. Well, that's all right then if everything's ok - I feel so much more confident to know that...
