    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I suspect they already are. A city, county or country which wants the employment and investment these companies can provide is already very much over the barrel before they arrive. Once they are there, even more so.

    There are plenty who can tell David Davis and the rest everything that is going to be a problem. But just how does it get through to them the deep and damaging impacts it will have? An LBC caller told David Davis that he has no idea how his policies on Brexit are affecting British businesses...

    Nor was I keen on £160 - I think I paid about £50 (maybe plus P&P). Definitely an end-of-season/surplus stock purchase. The boots were a penny or so under £20. Just checked: Sub Total 50.00 Discount 0.00 Shipping Method UK Standard Delivery - Free Shipping Cost 0.00 (Total Ex VAT 41.67) (VAT...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I most certainly do NOT think those who support brexit are all alike and there is only one reason. However, I do find it difficult to discuss why people support, or supported, brexit in person because I know so few. Of those who work in the same office, only one says he voted brexit. He now...

    I have said before, my Quiksilver jacket is the absolutely most waterproof, windproof and comfortable outer I have ever owned.

    It is getting ever easier to associate Pandora's jar (or box) with brexit. The evils may have been existence all along but they appear to have been released all at once.

    And I thought I was in the pretty darned unattractive, late-middle-age-or-older, white-towards-flushed-red, somewhat overweight, would-never-want-to-see-on-TV demographic. I don't even get a look-in! And many of their opinions are even less attractive. Maybe I'll change my name to Adonis? :)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I understand what you mean - but it would not have been easy for me to vote for brexit. Probably being threatened with something extremely unpleasant!
