I don't think it whiny to expect democracy. As you said the margin was very narrow, so I therefore object to those who speak in terms of total departure from the EU. We should and probably will have a democratic compromise reflecting the interests of both halves of the electorate. The...

Quite a response, lashing out wildly at everyone you don't agree with. I'm neither a stock market entrepeneur or a working man, I've been retired for decades. I was long ago a working man who was decisive and wise enough to grow his surplus earnings and investment income. It was hardly...

Brilliant photo Eddie, the bicycle as art. .

You'll need to explain Flud, I'm unaware of any hypocrisy in my post or position. Perhaps you can enlighten me? .

My working life starting at 14 spanned 40 years, but was only 38 years of work since I twice took a year off, once after 10 years working, the second after a further 12 working years. My ambition is to make it to 92 years old, since that will mean 38 years of retirement for that 38 years of work. .

Not sure if your comment refers to not drinking or the tolerance. Neither explain anything, I don't care whether others drink or not and don't promote a view on drinking. I just don't like alcoholic drinks, to me they mainly taste disgusting, that's all. Brandy-rich mince pies at Christmas...

The decision has been made and must stand, a second vote would be wrong. But the closeness of the result means that I will fight for and support any move to have a more balanced outcome to match the overall mood of the country. That's what happens in democracies like ours. .

:D. I don't drink alcohol, and I'm considered a very tolerant person! .

So now I quote the pessimistic view, since we should have balance, should we not? :D However others are not entirely convinced that the decline shown in the new study is down to a reduction in the amount of chlorine in the stratosphere. "The data clearly show significant year to year...

I've done better than Hargreaves Lansdowne over the years, and it's why I was able to retire so early, and my start was from rock bottom, far lower than that of Peter H. But I never had any desire to start a company and even less desire to run one long term. My target from a very early age was...

Firstly like anyone else, he can be wrong. I've seen Hargeaves Lansdowne get it wrong a number of times over the years. Secondly, just getting our economic future slightly better than when in the EU will still not be good enough. It needs a revolutionary change, which I see no signs of our...

I take your point Trex, assuming you mean achievable price, but that 50% loss at only eight months old is extreme for a vehicle. Normally it would take four years for an average car to lose that much. Of course it's all down to market size, the car market is huge, and the moral is, never sell...

Based on the £2000 original price, the formula works out to a current selling price of £ £1735. Based on the £1750 you paid, the formula works out to a current selling price of £1490. Both of those have been distorted upwards by the separately listed replacement price of the 17Ah battery...

Everything I do is open source, given free, so my info and formula on e-bike second-hand prices is likewise. .

But it's vehicle manufacturing I'm speaking of, and that is still being shifted into eastern Europe, Germany and even Spain at times, often in ways that are not even apparent. Nissan came here for two reasons, first because we were in the EU, second because of a huge government subsidy to do...

Of course Mike, which battery does it have, the 14.5 Ah or the 17 Ah? That model was fitted with both at times and their prices were separated by £200. .

Remember, it's not just a tariff issue, there's the attraction of far lower wages in Eastern Europe and Spain where the car companies also produce for the EU. Many have already done that and I can well imagine Nissan et al following suit since it's ultimately very profitable. Poland, the Czech...

And already a new and relevant story has emerged, casting new light. The decision on south-eastern airport expansion has been put of until at least October, obviously for the new party leader. The Airports Commission strongly recommended a third runway at Heathrow and the government have...

That could be a disadvantage from the point of view of uniting a split party. Liam Fox is also a Brexiter but has sensibly kept that low key so might be better for unifying. In addition Fox has senior experience, having held the Foreign, Defence and Health posts, the first two typical stepping...

It was mentioned when Cameron first resigned, so they do have the intelligence. One thing's for certain, never believe the official story from politicians. For all his faults, Boris Johnson is a fighter, and the notion that he would jack it in because Michael Gove said he wasn't up to the job...
