I like the UK, it must have one of the best coastline's in the World. However the people and their insular opinions are a bit hard to take sometimes. A couple of weeks in the sun is nice but I'd soon get bored. Still, I'm prepared to be bored for a few days longer. Beach tomorrow, if it's not too hot. The bar and pool otherwise

Re: Brexit discussion
Or maybe Mr K has been enjoying living in the EU for the last 25 years and maybe the EEC for 20 years before that without leaving home (apologies Mr K if I have made you nearly as old as me!)

Re: Brexit discussion
The only Polski Sklep shop owner left has put up all the beer prices. Some from £1.25 to £2.50 a can, citing "Brexit". But his employee showed me the invoices from last week and February last year. No change in cost to him.
Pure profiteering.

Not surprised as one suspects there will be plenty more where that came from.

Re: Brexit discussion
The Migration Advisory Committee who advise the Home Office have just published an interim report summarising employers responses to a call for evidence on migration. One of the the big questions asked is ‘why employ migrants?’.
It makes interesting reading. Here’s the link - https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...rim-update.pdf
Here are the annexes which includes details of what companies and organisations were quizzed - https://www.gov.uk/government/upload..._Update_v4.pdf

Re: Brexit discussion
Good to see the Brexit Broadcasting Corporation being called out again for its pro-Brexit bias.
Quote:
The BBC has come under fire from some of those who went on yesterday’s pro-EU march who claim the broadcaster did not give the event sufficient news coverage.
The Unite for Europe march saw tens of thousands of people take to the streets of London to express their discontent over the Government’s handling of the referendum result as the country teeters on the brink of a so-called “hard Brexit”.
Police figures suggest around 100,000 people attended the march, but several passionate protesters took to social media to complain the BBC was not giving the event due prominence in its bulletins.
Former Liberal Democrat MP Stephen Williams said on Twitter: “Absolute disgrace that BBC TV News gives just 5 seconds coverage to pro EU march by 50,000 people but gives extensive time to UKIP news.”

Re: Brexit discussion
To be perfectly honest Andrew there is considerable bias across large parts of the media one way or tother and its pretty hard to separate the wheat from the chaff.

As most people who follow the news should be appreciating by now, a trade deal looks very likely indeed. Not to have one will damage both the UK and the EU.

Re: Brexit discussion
Inward investment is looking up, good news for the economy.
https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2018/0...e-reported-it/
Once we get a bit more certainty about the outcome of the Brexit negotiations, these indicators will look even healthier. Assuming we get a trade deal, I believe that the economy will absolutely take off.

Well I'm back in Blighty now and what have we got ?
Flooding, state sponsored attempted murders, stabbings/shootings, row about passport colours, a strange obsession with some 96 year old duffer's hip surgery, politicians trying to out troll each other, and an utterly divided country.
My tans fading already and I've developed a cold
