    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The world moves toward a knowledge economy and if we continue to be good in trading, why not? it is a more plausible strategy for us to invest, buy and sell - I don't see anything wrong with this. I have not been seriously ill in my entire life. Then I experience the NHS hospital last year for...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If the tories adopt labour's position on brexit, we pay the divorce bill, we agree on the direction of an FTA along the lines of EFTA or joining EFTA during the transitional period. The way forward is straight. The change will be gradual, EU nationals will be able to work here, British...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Common sense is returning. The last move from labour has been expected and a logical one. The logical step is to stay within the single market while negotiating EFTA membership or a similar deal with the EU. The tories make no sense to impinge their hard bexit goals onto the transitional period...

    it keeps the time - the clock you see at the top right corner. When the LCD gets switched on, it uses the power from the battery and not the coin cell.

    I'll put a CR3022 in the post for you Tuesday when we get back to work. You can check the voltage of the coin cell, it's not a reliable method because it should really be measured with a load but may give an idea. It should read 3.2V.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You could have said that I spout the government's point of view because I cited mostly the government's published papers. I rely mostly on articles published by the ONS (office for national statistics), the Treasury, the BoE and the BBC. Your source seems to be the canary.

    I am not sure. We have different programs to load into the different King Meter LCDs. For the kits, we have the program for the KM J-LCD that is well trusted for many years and the newer KM 529 LCD. KM 529 LCD:

    the BBS02B costs 8% more than the BBS01B. We reflect that difference in the selling price. For clarity, both are sourced directly from Bafang, same with spares, we don't reprogram the motors. The BBS02B motor core is slightly larger and heavier. BBS01B: 3.8kgs BBS02B: 4.2kgs

    they employ more people in the short term and so on. local enterprises enjoy a bit less competition. We discussed this when you quizzed me about losing to a Dutch retailer a few years back.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    an FTA with the EU will include rules of origin, we can't collect import duty on Chinese goods and sell on to EU customers like we do at the moment. After we are out of the EU, if I sell a kit to a German customer, I have to do the invoice ex VAT in 6 copies, may have to supply certificate of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think remainers overplay the economic card which explains why not many brexiters changed their mind. The economic outlook looks bad in the immediate future, but in time, brexit brings up some interesting change and opportunity. One of the strong economic arguments for brexit is the growing...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    some jobs in specific expertise like euro clearing will move but they will be replaced pretty soon. The fintech sector employs about 61,000 people (if you think it's fake news, the source is the Treasury), euro clearing about 1,500 - not a huge movement. For the banking and insurance sector...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    EU trade with the US is based mainly on 3 EU countries, UK, Germany and France, in that order. After brexit, the EU becomes EU27, minus UK. The UK becomes then the EU No 1 trading partner, the EU27 sells more to the UK than to the US. what may surprise you is the size of trade we do with the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    what remainers need to see that there are good points from their opposition too. The EU trade with the rest of the world is far from nimble because of its democratic constitution. If after brexit, UK can continue to trade freely with the EU like before, it will be a lot more attractive to...

    Wiki has the data for 2015. you need to subtract UK/US trade from EU/US trade after brexit. EU exported to USA 369 billion Euros, of which the UK export to usa accounts for about 100 billion Euros...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The UK is the EU's No 1 trading partner. I don't think it is in anybody's interest to start a trade war because of brexit. As usual, there will be winners and losers when an event as big as brexit happens. I am still hopeful that we will have our own FTA deal based on the FTA between the EU and...
