    DON'T BUY THEM. THE PRICE WILL FALL IF YOU STOP BUYING.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't know OG. Maybe, or maybe not, or maybe BREXIT coupled with other EU political developments will cause change and reform. I wouldn't like to predict that. What I am saying is that the UK is not an irrelevant member of the EU as KTM bicycle bloke suggests.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I never doubted it for one minute. I've never had any bother with Jaguar or Land Rover and wouldn't have any qualms about having another. You can find someone who's had a fault with any brand of car.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Isn't the UK second only to Germany in terms of the amount contributed to the EU? We are good customers to the German car industry. We buy more good from the EU than we sell. We are only one of 27, I agree, but we are only one of a handful which actually contribute, and we contribute a great...

    I've not seen the film, but if it's what I'm describing, then yes :-)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Again I agree with your assessment of a deal. Seriously, is the UK not a large net contributor to the EU? Don't we buy a lot,and I mean one of the biggest customers, of products from EU companies? These are just a couple of points, but they must be worth something during negotiations?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think "Car ownership" will be an obsolete term in years to come when driverless cars become popular. Why would you need to own a driverless car? I can see a time when you book a pickup and drop off point, much like a taxi, and pay per journey. Much of the present taxi fare is a labour charge...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I wouldn't. It would be Indian cars for me, Jaguar or Land Rover. Audi make good cars, but unfortunately they have a reputation of being purchased by knob heads and driven by complete tools. They seem to have taken over the mantle from angry faced Beamer drivers on motorways.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Two posts in a row in which I agree with a lot of the content. Wherever will this end. The most important point being that there needs to be a parliamentary opposition to BREXIT, even though I do support it. Corbyn need to sort himself out and quickly.

    Jesus Christ! You've written something that I agree with.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Another potential positive of BREXIT had just occurred to me. I've been on a course / working in Poland for a couple of days and now moved on to Krakow before coming home. Staying in the hotel are a group of drunken English slappers (or am I supposed to refer to them as "disadvantaged" ?). They...

    549 pages and 10976 messages. The above now ranks the highest out of all of them. Crisps and biscuits will always win.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm more of a QVC watcher myself. Particularly in the early hours whilst eating crisps and biscuits. Can't say I've seen much information regarding the work of the EU.

    The great KTM price cuts of 2015 when the Pound was riding high against the Euro seems to have slipped from my memory.

    Point taken. Thank you. Regarding infrastructure planning. I agree.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I take a holistic view and pay little regard to figures which have been carefully chosen to the exclusion other data in order to present a particular narrative. Or especially for you, Like what you are doin' I firmly believe that we are on the correct course with BREXIT and ultimately that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree and see this as a very likely outcome. It could be easily sold as a good compromise deal and shift the leave / remain balance firmly over towards remaining within the EU.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Between 2009 and the start of 2015, the Pound was never worth more than 1.30 Euros, spending most of the time just below 1.20 Euros. Then came the Greek debt crisis and the second bail out during 2015. The value of the Euro took a hit and the Pound peaked at 1.40 Euros. Next we had the BREXIT...

    Take my post as a rant if you wish, I do not have an issue with that. To make accusations of ranting is the usual fall back position for people such as you. Your sentence in the original post does not read in the same way as your example regarding the football stadium. There is no parallel to...
