Well, the truth is first and foremost. .

Dangerous game for the Tories, and I don't think the Adam Smith Institute has done enough research into all the implications. Just looking at the food market isn't enough. Some 30% of of our farmland is let to tenant farmers by the owners, who are investors. For example for miles around me in...

Like very many people I no longer carry cash, so that factor alone is much more likely than Brexit to account for lost ice cream van sales. It's also seriously dented charity collections. .

Wrong. The difficult to manage debt wasn't to the EU. It was Germany who reluctantly bailed out Greece to help keep the union intact. .

What wrong? That's what I said, their divisive policies which never stood a chance. They had no option but to back down, threatened with being thrown out the eurozone. The fact is that by following the EU policies instead they are well on the road to recovery, but quite rightly aren't going...

Indeed, when it found it couldn't face down the EU. That's why they failed and are getting chucked out. Boris Johnson will be no better. .

With its economy having turned a corner and now firmly on the road to recovery, the Greeks are now electing the pro-EU New Democracy party into power with an overall majority. They've sensibly sent their anti EU party decisively out of power, punishment for their damaging divisive policies. We...

Any cycle dealer can service all the bike parts, and a good one with a bike agency using Bosch motors like yours will be a good choice for services. At 2000 miles it's not critical, so you can take your time finding a suitable dealer in Bosch equipped bikes. .

There's even worst than just Brummie, it's Dudley, Worcestershire. Even the rest of them in the Birmingham area can't understand them. I use to have truck loads of goods delivered to my depot, driven by a driver from Dudley. He was a chatterbox who rambled on endlessly while in depot, and I'm...

I have no idea. Probably depends if they can get hold of the ballot form mailed to them. .

Voting any way they wish. Tory wouldn't be so strange, given their kin that the party has always contained. The European Court is quite right, as citizens they are entitled to a democratic vote. .

Maybe you still have mostly English staff in your hospitals. Here that isn't so common and plenty of other languages are available. I've mostly seen the non-English speakers bringing someone with who can translate, usually a youngster or friend. My Italian grandmother who came here in her 30s...

Prisoners too, much to the displeasure of the European Court of Human Rights. And me. .

Some people have two addresses and have communicated with the party from both locations at times. Others have communicated from their workplace as well at times. Both have apparently led to them being recorded in two places, resulting in papers being sent to both. I can understand this since...

It isn't always easy for older people, and especially difficult for Muslim women who often have limited contact with British people. I think it's sufficient that their young learn English, which they do with remarkable speed and are often the family translators. All around me in London there's...

Which makes you wrong, since as you've said, I'm always right. .

True, indeed I doubt I'm anywhere near 20% in this thread, going many days without any posts here. My only notable contribution was in starting it. There's probably a place waiting in hell for me for doing that. .

Afraid not, mine is a genuine 42.7%. I have the advantage since I always go into the cycling forums first and help in three ways there as necessary. I've been doing that for 13 years and have also written a number of the site's permanent articles. Even quite old posts of mine get Likes as...

No, you're showing 33%. But before you start celebrating, these figures include the dislikes, the site lumps them all together. For most members the dislikes are small minority of the total, but as you say, Rob has wreaked some damage. Yours is probably a true likes figure of half that, much...

Some of their critics among male players would pay them the money to stay away. .
