    Not important in the great scheme of things .. but as Tesco says every little bit.. . Netflix had agreed to increase the amount of EU sourced material for Europe in 2020. ,and as the UK has a thriving entertainment industry, would have been expected to get a disproportionate share.. everyone...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    .. Seriously... ?? . What I am taking from this conversation is that you are recommending and believing that your negotiators should engage in bad faith,with the intention of renaging on any agreements, even before they are signed off.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am not aware of that plan to transit the uk wirh bonded containers.. but it is trivial.. The point of having those 40 ft containers in the first place was that they could be sealed by customs and be excise exempt in transit. Even during the cold war days, there were two concession roads out...

    Thank you but Actually that is only one source.. the daily express is using the information from politico. If you read the politico article carefully, it , does not actually say a deal is done, rather that 80 to 95% of an agreed set of proposals have been set up. ..and any way a deal cannot be...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    .. i have already commented on whether the rest of the eu cares who or what party governs in the uk. If there is a secret deal ,how do you know? And more importantly there is no deal .At best there are proposals which need to be voted on by the eu parliament. Ireland would be lobbying at...

    Zatlan, .. using a honest report rte, of a biassed person, reported from another biassed paper, is not a very convincing argument.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The only inconvenient truth is that both RoI and UK and particularly NI will all suffer.The only point at issue is how much. As it currently stands the eu is attempting as far as it can to accommodate the UK wishes.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No. The GFA can only be resinded or modified by the sovereign governments of both the UK and Ireland acting together.. and we are in no mood to be bullied on this. The Irish people modified by formal referendum it's own consitution to facilitate the GFA.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If the EU is guilty of anything it is that they did not engage with the BREXITeers before the referendum, nor did any of the other 27 nation states. The view from outside the UK was bemusement, incredulity and a belief that it was an internal matter for the UK people. Had they wanted to , they...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    .. no up to 29 march, it is still " phony war " territory, after then it's legal. At present the UK can seek an extension, and it can be granted only by the EU parliament..using qualified majority voting, so you and I could reasonably hope for a favourable result. On 30th March it's all 27...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Despite the amount of internal discussion, I along with some 400 milion others have no interest in what the Conservatives or Labour want or which faction is in charge in the UK. The legal situation changes on 12.00 midnight on 29th March!.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am sorry to prick your balloon, but... March is not an intermediate step. It is the end,finite, Fini, unless an agreement of some sort has been reached. An agreement that the EU .. qualified majority voting, finds acceptable. Whether the UK have a parliamentary debate is interesting but not...

    Any electric shower experts out there?

    A typical problem with consumer products is how much to repair,and whether it is cost effective... I have been there a number of times with dishwashers and washing machines. Taking your product. How much is a replacement,? how long have you had it?. What are the parts which are likely to fail in...

    Any electric shower experts out there?

    That class of product is probably not repairable.... The water seals alone to protect the user from 7 to 13kw will be destroyed if opened... Just bite the bullet.,set the temperature at what is suitable and live with it..., And eventually replace it.

    I did understand the pesky comment... No problems there. Again i think you underestimate. While the local mayor might wish to retain landing arrangements, it will be out of his her hands and be a decision by the department of foreign affairs... Ryanair's O Leary has stated that he will remove...
