There's no relevance. Getting rid of consumer protection wouldn't help them in any way whatsoever. .

They are mostly consumer protections, looking after our welfare and a major reason why I don't want to leave the EU. Of course many small businesses would like to see them gone so they could rip us off again, some large businesses too. A return to Resale Price Maintenance and Price Fixing and...

Just like any election, the latest result is the valid one. The argument you are trying to make falls down at the 1975 referendum which was a Remain win. Saying people didn't realise what they were voting for then, or that they were lied to, is no different this time. Again no-one knew what...

Of course, the issue was a popular one for a change, rather than the party ones, ensuring a large turnout. But the biggest gainer from that was Leave since there was at last a chance for change, or so they thought before being let down. These events will make Remain the gainer this time, and I...

Woosh said: did you watch BBCQT last night? John Healey for Labour had a bit of difficulty explaining Labour's position on brexit. Yes, fence and perch are important components. .

The Remain vote would jump substantially and would easily exceed that 17.4 millions. As polls and questionaires have shown, large numbers of the remainer inclined didn't bother to vote due to the same complacency that our politians had, they were certain Remain would win. They won't make that...

I fully agree that was the majority Leaver view of what Brexit meant, a simple totally clean break. But of course to the people in charge and running businesses it just isn't that simple but is in fact very complicated due in part to 44 years of entanglement. I don't agree that there will be...

The government said that, but it seems parliament has different ideas. Ultimately parliament is sovereign. .

This sort of specialised manufacturing can't disappear very quickly. The threat comes from new designs as they arrive, with investment and tooling to consider. That's when the switch to the most convenient location takes place. If we make manufacturing awkward here through tariffs and/or...

Perhaps the boss is Phil Anthropist. .

A number of countries build good large airliner wings, it's not a dark art. We are just one who are good at it, others include the USA, Canada, China, Brazil, Russia and France. I understand Northern Ireland is about to join them. .

No I hadn't used those, thanks Tommie. .

Looking good already, a nice clean commuter that's also unusual. You'll be causing jealousy in some other commuters in your area! .

Thanks. I do also use the Met Office site often, but have it set to my nearby Met Office station at Biggin Hill, since I live at the conjunction of the London/Surrey/Kent borders. No snow here with 10 degrees today! .

This weekend of course, as I said, I watched the BBC TV forecast. And having just looked, the Met Office is still forecasting snow. It seems I picked up the wrong link, for which I apologise, but it doesn't alter the fact of this weekend's forecast. .

Maybe he watched the BBC TV forecast as I did, which only mentioned snow in the north without defining exactly where. .

You obviously haven't been looking at the forecasts, Jonathan didn't say he had snow, he said snow this weekend. This link shows why. So he wasn't lying. .

Yes, try the Electric Bike General Discussion Forum Jonathan, with a new thread headed Bickerton. I've come across most things in my long cycling history but, although aware of them, have never seen a Bickerton in the flesh, let alone ridden one. .

So it seems. Some previous posts gave the impression that the ignore functions had gone, and since I don't use them I believed that. It's only the Ignore Thread that we used to have that's missing. .

I'd already posted the Reactions. It's rather silly to post non-reactions. Of course he has been receiving none for a long time if he hasn't been posting, there's nothing to give to. .
