Your memory is good, Summers were more consistently Summers, broken by the odd thunderstorms which quickly passed. Now Summers, indeed all seasons, are far less reliable, year by year varying greatly. And the harsher Winters also happened, even the south having snow most Winters and...

Oh we're there now ok, any new referendum with Remain as an option would result in a resounding Remain win, which is why the Leavers are terrified by the prospect. They know how much the mass of Leave voters are dispirited by events, meaning many wouldn't even bother to turn out to vote again...

I trust that "e" on the end was a mistake! ;) YouGove I wouldn't want as a source. .

But we're getting back our sovereignty so everything's ok. :rolleyes: .

Mainly ok but a bit naughty, since they've left out that we have to pay £12 billions annually to remain in the EU but leaving frees us from that. The benefits are undoubted, but they aren't free. .

Both cases were a bit different with other factors. Vauxhall, whose models are German Opels with the badge changed, have long been unable to compete effectively with their main competitors here and in Germany, their market declining. So long ago they shut down car making in Luton and just...

The very few who do like Dyson and Sugar just establish in, or move manufacture to the Orient, depriving us of jobs and the manufacturing feed chain. Even oft quoted Brompton just braze frames and forks and then build their bikes out of orientally sourced components. .

I believe she needs parliamentary approval since Parliament agreed to the issue of article 50. .

No, that's only under WTO with tariffs as said. With a tariff free deal for manufactures and no delay barriers there's no reason to move. Something the motor manufacturers have been stressing is essential all along. .

Yes as said, I agree that we are most likely to achieve some sort of deal to enable free movement of manufacturez of both parts and cars. But it's not an absolute and the government should stop pushing its luck. The EU 27 could each easily lose their up to 8% trade with us without large ill...

And Tesla wouldn't come here for our small car market and backwardness in taking up e-cars compared to many EU countries. Plus most Tesla's are too big for our roads as reviewers have commented. If we lost our present car makers and out of the EU, the only way that industry could restart here...

Agreed. Not so, the only attraction we had was as a door into the huge EU market and that and subsidies is why they all came here. On WTO terms they'd leave and no-one else would be interested in our small UK market. Especially not the Americans, hadn't you realised that GM has just dumped...

As I've posted previously, the car makers would definitely move to the the EU mainland, the assemblers first, Toyota, Honda, PSA-Vauxhall, but Nissan would not be long after them and probably Jaguar-Land Rover. In less than a decade we'd be back to the early 1970s when the IMF had to come in to...

I've no idea, I only know the federal ruling. .

True, more cross swords than cross words. .

No more so than when I was cycling over 5000 miles a year and driving 1000. .

There is this way: In general terms, no you cannot use a PO Box Number as your registered office, however, you can use a PO Box address if you provide Companies House with the full, physical postal address. In other words separately providing the address of the mailbox location is ok, even...

Sort of, some who use light assist motors with tiny batteries like Cytronex bikes, just for hills, are part time cyclists. Or as some would have it, intermittent cheats. ;) .

I post as I find and I find cyclists to be by far the most stroppy of all road users. They often even hate each other, such as for riding a different kind of bike than their choice or riding an e-bike or someone not wearing a helmet, presumably hated because they wear one. Can you imagine a...

In my experience the majority of cyclists are a pain in the arse, argumentative gits who hate everyone else from pedestrians to drivers using the roads and often go out of their way to pick disputes with them. Often all while disobeying every roads law it's possible for a cyclist to break. .
