    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Each to their own Tom, I was expressing a personal view, though I think it widespread. Other than the bigger spectator events, cricket does seem to have died a death among the wider public as a participant sport. Fifty years and more ago I used to see all ages playing cricket in various...

    The only plane there being an easyjet somewhat undermined the message though. :D .

    I think many of the referendum Leave voters weren't "with us" back then. ;) .

    Maybe an emoticon would be better. An "f " could be misunderstood, as in ffs. :) It should have been, anything to liven up the terminally boring game that cricket is. :) .

    Perhaps he's going to do a streak at Thursday's O2 event. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I reply in a reasonable manner and all you can come out with is this? Here's the replies. 1) This forum is The Charging Post, for non e-bike subjects. As you know of course, having posted about a TV show in here. 2) I've never mentioned Moat posting anything and have no idea if he ever did...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Firstly as pointed out, this is not an electric bike forum. Second, a similar challenge was made about Old Tom and I posted a link to all his many e-bike posts. Third, I'll just give you this one link, read the opening sentence of OG's post. .

    Raoul Moat said something like that before his killing spree and suicide. Perhaps we'd better alert the police. .

    Sorry JB, I missed your query. They are Dryads Saddles, Polyporus squamosus, but in a very...

    Sorry JB, I missed your query. They are Dryads Saddles, Polyporus squamosus, but in a very young stage just sprouted and tiny. My photo is a close up. Of course they end up as huge brackets when fully grown out.

    Thanks for explaining, I missed it in the welter of rubbish in this thread. I've deleted your quote from my post. .

    Actually he's not. This forum is specifically for non electric bike subjects, hence this thread. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And still you don't understand. The first brief sentence about Russia and the USA joining into WW2 (long before 1944) showed I understood the general context you posted in, that's all. I expected you to be smart enough to understand that. The rest was only about the three stages of Brexit...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Indeed those treaties radically changed our status. However, we are a parliamentary democracy so Blair and Brown had no more right to offer a vote on the issue than Cameron had to offer a referendum. The two show how divisive such attempts can be, whether offered to the public or not. General...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I made no mention of any incidents in the year 1944. My reply was everything to do about Brexit, the negotiation stages in the context of your post. You are obviously desperately trying to find an opposing answer to my pointing out that Remainers had it right all along about the exit deal and...

    The only obvious thing I can see here is that you cannot give a serious response to a serious post since you have no answer. .

    1944. That tide was only turning due to our being rescued by Russia and the USA. This time no-one is coming to the rescue. After losing the first two battles, negotiating format and departure deal, we either concede the third and final forthcoming battle of the trade negotiations to the EU or...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Possibly, but that was not in the value sense I meant. My meaning of course for anyone not understanding was that paying for EU membership gave its benefits all the time. But one has no breakdowns in almost all years of RAC and AA payments, making them relatively more expensive. The...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No it isn't negotiable, you are missing a vital point. When we signed with others to pay for a project to completion, that was its budget. If we are allowed to stop paying part way through, the project collapses, wasting everyone's money. Clearly one member cannot have that power, it's...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Irrelevant to what I posted. The EU favouring us on the movement issue still puts them in a difficult situation with Hungary and some others. .
