    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Soft enough to eventually evolve into invisibility. Long ago Dave you posted a number of times that you doubted Brexit would happen. I think you will be right eventually, since I think we will gradually over time lose any sign of it ever being really in existence. Brexit is just too difficult...

    . Well, he was ultimately honest, I daresay that's how he'd see it. :D .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I did too, but there's no such county any more it was scrapped on 1st April 1965. Not sure why that date was chosen, someone must have been hinting at something. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Exactly, the hard liners couldn't get him out. Rees Mogg and co. are just pompous windbags with no real influence. He in particular is regarded as a joke by most MPs, listened to for the entertainment value. Like David Davis's promises to show the reports and David Cameron's promise to allow...

    Maybe an identified dodgy source to get that quick a refund, seemingly without a full check? .

    Woosh posts excluded from Members, Recent Activity section?

    And yet in the other dropdown menu, Forums, New posts, I've just been in conversation with Woosh, each new post by them showing. Doesn't look like deliberate exclusion, maybe a strange glitch? .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed, but if it comes to the crunch I still don't think they'll risk losing power. John Major changed their position for ever in 1993 when he openly challenged them, calling them in a public statement the party's bastards. They couldn't get him out and he stayed in charge for four more years...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The latest acknowledgement by the government is that there's not only no reports, they've also made no assessment at all of the effects post Brexit. Once again that supports the suspicions I expressed in this post. Why assess what isn't going to happen? .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I very much doubt that. The last election was a close thing for the party and they'll know if they risk forcing another prematurely, there's a good chance it will let Labour in. They also now know that will mean customs union and a common market, and they certainly won't risk that. .

    That's odd, I enter through Forums, New Posts and they aren't filtered out there. .

    Why bother with reports is no Brexit is intended? See my previous post. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Only true if what we see and hear overall is the truth. For a while now I've had a deepening suspicion that we are all witnessing a charade, jointly performed by the UK and EU. Just look back at the start point of the Brexit vote result. The Government didn't want that, the Opposition didn't...

    Exactly right, and I was also familiar with this freewheel in Shimano's budget Cadet range. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Possible, but I was working on the assumption that support might not be available. Then she could just face down her 35 extreme right by the threat of a general election. Either way I dont see a problem in getting a soft Brexit. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They shouldn't be a problem. She should reach the agreement and then tell those 35, agree or I call an election to let Labour in, who will set up customs union and a common market for the whole UK. That will shut them up. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And not just the big players, I not only knew it was coming but made money by very accurately forecasting it's start. The start was actually in October 2007 and I hurriedly cashed in a property investment at the end of September, just before the start of the prices dropping in October. .

    16 mph Scooter on hotUKdeals £203

    It does look good, and you're right that Joe Public wouldn't be bothered about you using one. The snag could be the odd police officer who might have a down on unregistered two wheelers, and that could prove expensive with fine and confiscation, plus a threat to a present or future driving...

    16 mph Scooter on hotUKdeals £203

    No "likely" about it, it isn't legal. Just look at all the gubbins those other have to equipped with to be legal, mirrors, stoplight, number plate mounting, horn, motorcycle rated tyres etc., and the price difference in consequence! .

    Cycle lane.......

    It's good to see the council has stood firm against this ridiculous proposal. If any organisation wishes to have parking for it's users, they should buy space and provide the off road facility for that, just as supermarkets and many other businesses do. Roads are for travelling on, there is...
