    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sad you are all so mistaken, we aren't out on the 31st, we'll still be full members on 1st February. That's day one of the transition phase when we will be slowly, very gradually, bit by bit departing into so called independence. I say "so called", because it will never happen. First there's...

    They probably view it as compensation for the pay lost during the latter part of the assembly not sitting, when their salaries were belatedly stopped. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree that it's very suitable for such clubs and I'm not opposed to it. But for many it isn't as suitable or convenient as a website and is disruptive to the website and the organisation. For example there's our natural history organisation website with it's extensive galleries of species...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm simply observing the huge disparities between the rich and poor that exist now. An argument you are supporting with this post pointing out how rail travel in the UK is for those with sufficient disposable income, not for the many who have little or none. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You're just ducking the whole issue again. What about the entire costs of going, staying for the two or three months and returning? And how do the homeless, those in temporary accommodation through poverty, and the very large numbers whose income barely covers keeping their head above water...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I believe you are discounting the tremendous influence of the technological advance factor. Vast wealth doesnt mean much when ill and medicine is too primitive to offer much, but it certainly does now when the very wealthy have very real benefit. Just consider the near 100 year old Queen and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We've found that the probem is that Facebook sabotages an organisation's website with its alternative. In fact Facebook is far inferior to our website in that it's only convenient for the minute to minute stuff, news etc. The website is far more convenient for our large specific galleries and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed, it's in conflict with all other informed sources. As I posted before, I think it's Mazda's sour grapes. Tied to Ford for ages and Ford making very poor progress with e-cars, including their failed Think car venture, I think they just want to put the boot in as a market delaying...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've only been speaking of this country, since this Brexit thread concerns a UK relationship. In any case a currency value is meaningless, as my sister and her partner showed by living well and running a vehicle for over two decades on just under £60 a week RAF pension in India, Pakistan...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There is a very big difference betwen the acquiescence of my parent's generation and their present equivalents who are far from being so servile. And society is only better overall now. The disparities between the two ends are far worse than ever before. .

    They had genuinely easily affordable homes though and the discrimination they suffered was often as much their own fault as society's, simply because they meekly accepted their position rather than rebel against it. I'm old enough to have had relatives like that and it was my generation who...

    And why like Oyster I'm not on Facebook, Twitter or any of the other social media. This place is quite bad enough! ;) .

    Tell that to the many homeless or in temporary accommodation who live in this society with its many billionaires and countless millionaires. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I have to disagree again. We also have a hugely unbalanced population distribution with a very high South East density. And didn't you notice OG's mention of the sparcely populated Scotland, not to mention the large open areas the North of England enjoys. The Welsh also have plenty of space...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, but it's an immigration caused problem, not endemic to the country or its native population and it will be brought under control. The fact that it's taking time is evidence of how unusual it is in this happy country, the police having to learn how to deal with a problem very new to them...

    Is there a makers name on it? If so, enter it into Google to see if anyone is still selling that brand name who might be able to help. In fact a makers name and/or model name might help the DVLA to identify it to nod it through to give it a VIN. .

    But when that self interest results in being a member of an unhappy society, which we certainly have in the UK at present, it becomes unenlightened self interest. .

    Not really, the population in Sweden, as it is in Norway, is densely clustered in the more southerly areas, due to the northern latitude. "In September 2018 the total population in Sweden amounted to 10 207 086 inhabitants. The population is very unevenly distributed over the country with most...

    If it hasn't been registered before, you'll have to put it through Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA), but to do that you must first apply for the VIN number to K & R as below: Your vehicle needs a vehicle identification number (VIN) before having an IVA inspection. Apply to DVLA if it does not...
