    I know. There is a group, I've been sent links to it, but I'm not on Facebook and don't know how to find it now to show it to you. I don't know its exact title so only found pages. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's well over half a century out of date! They nearly all left London long ago, many of them moving abroad to avoid foreigners. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think EU membership will remain for a long time very important to Airbus for the support it gives, but it could eventually shrink back to it's origin as only a French aircraft maker. But on the other hand much depends on the world political future. If China becomes an enemy of the West as it...

    Oh dear, Parcelforce again. How they remain in business baffles me. On a few occasions I've informed businesses that I will never trade with them while they use Parcelforce as their courier, hoping that will improve matters or lead to Parcelforce's demise. .

    But you could set it up if you want a Facebook group, it's a free world. I'm on the committee of an organisation looking after a nature reserve and we have never set up anything for Facebook. But some of the regular visitors to our reserve, mainly dog walkers, have set up a Facebook group...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm well aware of that from my days in business in Northern Ireland (Whiteabbey, Belfast), also dealing with customers from all over Ireland. But my proposition possibility was a long way into the future. Of course the common view has long been the opposite, that the nationalist population...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I suppose if Scotland ever achieved independence and inside the EU, it's not inconceivable that Northern Ireland could join them, given the origins of the loyalists. Maybe eventually becoming Western Scotland and Eastern Scotland, joined by the bridge someone mentioned. Not sure whether the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A poll years ago showed that a substantial majority of mainland British would rather Northern Ireland wasn't in the UK, so the feelings seem consistent. .

    This is pretty much normal in forums, Facebook is to some extent the odd one out I think. I've worked in computer forums as a helper and I'm also a small arthropod species identifier in the Natural History Museum forum, and in all cases the members have mainly been identified by nom de plumes...

    It's possible to delete any post you've made during the 24 hours after making the post, those showing both Edit and Delete options. So there's plenty of time to make changes, but after that the options disappear. Deletions can cause problems of course, since they make answers to and quotations...

    If you go to one of Administrator HelenJ's posts and click on her name you're shown options, including "Start a conversation". If you then click that you will see this message page Then use that to send her your message. Hopefully this was just an inquiry and you are not intending to leave. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Exactly, with the servants doing the vacuuming, not the owners who wouldn't know how the Dyson performed, or that the butler had replaced it every year out of the petty cash. But not a Raleigh Motus, more likely a G0cycle G3 parked on the yacht for use when in ports. .

    Introduction

    Welcome to the forum Martin. That should be a good outfit for that distance commute. I never did get through that movie, "A Bridge Too Far", I remember the critics dubbed it "An Hour Too Long". They weren't wrong! .

    How to get an incorrect post report fixed

    Don't worry about it, when these unaccountable ratings have been given and then followed through with a query, it nearly always turns out to be either accidentally hitting the wrong icon or even an accidental unintended click. I doubt Admin would remove it anyway, for they are in favour of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    New Zealand wouldn't even have an agricultural business without us. Their bees weren't able to pollinate some important crops that they hoped to grow there, so we sent them some Bombus terrestris bumblebees from Kent around the start of the 20th century to help. That bee species loved it there...
