Remember the 'homing pigs',cant remember which direction was tax favourable. A farmer near the border would ship his hungry pigs across the border and get the export subsidy. He would then leave them unfed near the border and leave food back home,the pigs would find their way home. Repeat the...

So you can only sell Bitcoin if you have a willing buyer? Its not like shares where you can sell to a broker? Still think its like a Ponzi scheme,only succesful if you can bring in new cash? KudosDave

Completely off topic....does anybody know whether Bitcoin can be sold for cash? Not that I am interested,seems like a Ponzi scheme to me,just interested how you get out.??? KudosDave

According to Verhofstadt ,the recent comments from David Davis that last weeks deal was only a statement of intent and hardline Brexiters think the deal meaningless has caused the EU to toughen its stance on any trade deal,handshakes and gentleman agreements are no longer trusted. He says the EU...

Dont you have to be bright to negotiate Brexit? We are told its the most complex of negotiations,he did at one point say it was going to be a cinch. I didnt realise that being thick was a form of defense.... HB...'So Mr Davis these 52 impact assessments that have been prepared in excruciating...

Which is exactly why Ireland/EU wont easily give us a free trade deal....they are worried that the UK/NI becomes the open entry into the EU. If we take bicycles(not e-bikes),they already have a 48%ADT plus 6% duty...54% total tariff. If Theresa May scraps all import duties into the UK,then the...

They should have been given a vote in the referendum....if all of them voted remain that would have left the vote very close...but even if it was down to 1 person winning,the Brexiters would still call it an 'overwhelming vote to Leave'...wonder what would have happened if it had been just a few...

I agree,exports are good because of the strength of the Euro but the home market is pretty soft. KudosDave

When is a deal not a deal..... David Davis has clashed with the Irish government after claiming that the Brexit divorce agreement between Britain and the EU was a “statement of intent” rather than something legally enforceable. The Brexit secretary’s comments came after it was reported that...

Pleased that there is 'alignment' in the cabinet... Davis has just said ' If we don't get a good trade deal we don't have to pay the exit bill' Hammond said recently 'we will pay the exit bill even if we don't get a free trade deal' Don't these people talk together in cabinet meetings. KudosDave

Starmer was pushed by Marr on a number of critical points,Starmer was direct in his answers ,particularly on the matter of the customs union and the single market,he was uncomfortable being so direct but I felt Labour had now settled on its ideas of Brexit,an honest man Davis tried to escape...

One of my US suppliers has never developed a product in his life,yet he is one of the wealthiest guys in the states,he pointed out to me that R&D is expensive. KudosDave

No,Boris is lined up for that job!!! Come on Old Tom I can picture one of your graphics,hehe KudosDave

Just in case you missed it...... The first, and biggest, concession is buried in paragraph 49 of the 15-page report published early on Friday morning. Its implications will be anything but quiet in the weeks to come, for it undermines the prime minister’s previous insistence that Britain will...

Theresa May has caved in to the EU on every red line. No wonder Rees-Mogg said her red lines were going pink,looks to me they have turned white. Tony(flecc) you were absolutely right that regulatory alignment was a misunderstood packaging of staying in the customs union and the single market,the...

Is it not true that all new car sales are down,not just German Cars...I have just bought a new Audi A6 All Road....absolutely love it. Maybe people are having second thoughts because of Brexit uncertainty. KudosDave

That idea now looks impossible today,after May caved in to all the EU demands,it appears that regulatory alignment means we stay in the single market and the customs union. I dont blame May she was being pressured from every faction and got very little support from the hard Brexiters in her own...

It's an interesting piece of work,it wasn't dated I suspect now a bit out of date....it does rely on us joining EFTA ,which Norway have already says doesn't want us. Like so many Leaver wish lists there is a lot of hope factor,not least that it assumes that Liam Fox will quickly sign up the 50...

Dave...the 200% came from a report on Bike Europe. I have often quoted 54%,only because that is the current anti-dumping duty on normal bikes,it would be logical to have the same duty on all bikes,but it is a guess. The EU have been clever to not state the level of duty and the implement...
