Just back from 5 days near Filey, great sunny weather and quite hot. I've also got a very nice tan, and would definitely look the part if I wore a turban

Re: Britain outside the EU
Close Hugh, just add a few wrinkles and it's about right . . . but then there's the white rings around the eyes where the sunglasses prevented the tan
The wife thought it was quite hilarious for days afterwards

You need to get over your EU holiday obsession and give Blighty a blast. More to holidays than sunbeds and sangria.

I have an A5 ring binder, that I use to store specific facts and information about that very resort. I call it my “Filey Fax”

Frankly, I would rather not have a holiday than subject myself to a tan from standing in the English rain. (With apologies….)

Re: Britain outside the EU
I’ve run out of hankies to knot round my head. So I won’t be going abroad.

Re: Britain outside the EU
One or two people here round on me for daring to suggest that the EU (not the people) is our enemy.
Just imagine Macron: That man is so far up himself (remember his early threat - no fish, no deal?) and he has always been forward in saying there must be consequences for leaving the EU. He is out to punish the UK and no sane person who is following all of this would say otherwise.
Then there's Merkel; she plays it more cannily - but if she can slap one on the UK, sje will. After all, British tourists don't exactly flock to Germany so it doesn't hurt her by recommending a ban on UK visitors. It may hurt her EU colleagues and quite possibly the ban won't happen. But, if she can kick the UK, she will - and gets it badly wrong with the Covid jabs and the confusion se has sewn.
Next there's the VdL person. Again, no sane person, even among the Remainers on the forum, could think of her as having any goodwill to the UK unless it bows to the EU. She is the arch-enemy.
Remainer bleating that the EU is our biggest export market does not make them less of an enemy; it simply puts more cards into their hands to play against us.
The UK must now plough ahead, open up new markets, ban their fisherman after the 5 years are up, support our people in NI if the EU won't lighten up on their rules interpretation.
And when that perfidious, yes perfidious, Varadkar takes his turn as Taoiseach, and if he hasn't softened, the UK must take none of his shit and teach him a lesson where it hurts by taking as little produce from the Republic as possible.
They are, at least for now, the enemy.

Dude, take some Prozac - that pulsating vein in your forehead’s going to pop soon if you don’t chill out…

Re: Britain outside the EU
Why should I? Remainers like you need reminding as to who the enemy is. We dared to leave.

Re: Britain outside the EU
If we have an "enemy", it’s Russia, who have killed people in our country, threaten our ships, and try to undermine our democracy.
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/b...tack-66vglvt7d
Quote:
The Foreign Office said GCHQ and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) agreed it was “highly likely” that Russia’s foreign spy agency, the SVR, was responsible for so-called SolarWinds hack and meddling in elections.
“We see what Russia is doing to undermine our democracies,” Dominic Raab, the foreign secretary, said.
