    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Discussion on this thread is very circular. We did discuss this topic previously. Before making any comments read up on Weillbull Distribution curves, Just an aside, the nuclear reactors powering the French grid were within hours of being shut down during the " cancuale" or drought in the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not a pretty story. It is precisely my concern about things like that, and our own locally born equivalents, that in part fuels my worry about a border. Both you and I living on opposite sides, but not so many miles apart of this border should share the same concern. I can imagine our local...

    No apology required in this case. The England team, dominated every phase of the game , They were as fired up as Ireland was against the All Blacks.. Even the trademarked loop around pass that Sexton does so well was read and countered.

    We did discuss this some 18 months ago. The effect will be that those people who might have got an A6 will settle for an upspec. A4 etc.

    One of those major differences is that the French tend not to see property as a speculative financial activity...as it is in UK or Ireland.

    No... The power of England was built on restricted trade. When it had created by its military capitive markets, it then created monopolies.

    It could be, but it might also be an arrogance, such as insisting that that your standards are higher

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Like I said, Not my experience. I have been in shops where all the shop assistants have been very pleasant etc, but at the instant it turned 19:00 hours, and therefore closed, the mental shutters come down. But reading the few postings ,these complaints are all from English posters, not Welsh...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That would not in any fashion mirror my personal experience with any local authorities I have dealt with in NANTES, ,Lorient or Pontivy. Officious yes, incapable of flexibility yes ,but in terms of politeness, respect and decency their behaviour has been exemplary. This includes the local...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Fingers, your crocodile tears are touching. Remember it is the UK which prevented their citizens living in mainland Europe and Ireland from voting. The EU did put all these citizen rights into the agreement,but it is the UK which have not ratified it. So logically they have completed...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Perhaps I can explain in non judgemental language. The 500 page WA document ,otherwise jnown as the Deal, provides a legally sound way of dealing with that and other issues. It was negotiated by those people legally authorised on behalf of the UK to so do. It is the agreement which if passed...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Exactly .. which is why we have professionals,with ethical standards entrusted to protect us. Our supply chains are now so convoluted that we need that. Once all that was necessary was to ensure that a weight was correct,when the corn was locally grown hence the weights and measures act,but the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Why would that be surprising?. A local shop ,which is certainly a business will buy from a local distributor and sell locally. They will not see themselves as trading with the EU ,when they sell Danish bacon or Spanish Onions. If you look at the volume and value of local business in NI,even...

    Now I dont know or indeed care,who the IoD are, but from its title would it be more likely to be limited companies and corporations rather than the collection of "Rovers Return " type of pubs or individual small garages ? If so would it not be responsible for more economic activity and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is certainly an interpretation , an alternative is that the elite in Westminster have realised that the jig is up that looking into an abyss with no upside. If the population has been constantly been feed the utter pap as in my earlier posting today, could you blame them for being misinformed?

    And he invariably gives mine a positive.. perhaps it has to do with the quality of the content?

    It is little wonder that my British colleagues,and fellow posters are confused. The attached is a Twitter post from one of your elected MEPs. .. now these are people you have elected to represent your interests in the EU parliament... Not unelected . These are the people you entrust with your...

    Zathlan, .. No,the fear of a No Deal is not equally spread or experienced. That remains the fundamental fallacy which the UK side has fallen into . The EU WANTs a deal with the UK, and knows it. The UK NEEDs a deal with the EU.,but still does not know it A few EU members,in particular...

    The market values that which be monitarised. It take States and Governments and international bodies to decide what should be monitarised... Things like Carbon credits are poor attempts to start it.
