BHM 994 Posted April 16, 2019 I’m just back & have been away since the middle of last week so put the ‘out of office’ message on my emails, eBay & phone. Typically when I’m on holiday I seem to of missed numerous calls - whether or not any of them were serious I guess I’ll find out on subsequent discussions (but I suspect one idiot after another).

Why on earth would anyone want to prop-up the other parasitical economies of Southern & Eastern Europe with our money is beyond me. Would anyone here want any of our glorious politicians negotiating a deal on their behalf? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lazz 16 Posted April 18, 2019 When you are trying to negotiate the best deal you have got to be prepared to walk to perhaps achieve that, but the idiots took that option off the table talk about trying to negotiate with your hands behind your back and that lot in Europe would of known that. they should not of agreed the financial settlement before the terms of our departure was sorted out it should of all been done at the same time as that might have been the carrot that got us what we wanted and if they would not of entertained it I would of said adios amigo. they have made a right hash of the whole thing. if anybody was under the illusion we would get a good deal are kidding them selves we are being punished so the rest don't leave. i think the MP's have forgot who they work for and that is going to come back and haunt them big time. on a personal note I wish it was sorted one way or the other so we can put it behind us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CCC 31 Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Remain or Leave, I'd never trust a politician to negotiate on our behalf, nor trust the lies they told. I did a load of research before reaching my decision (I had way too much time on my hands at the time) and the general conclusions were: 1. None of the problems faced by the UK at the time of the election where the result of EU Membership (generally this as positive as many non EU companies set up European headquarters/manifacturing here due to a) Language b ) Time zone c ) Flexible labour laws, but where in fact due to lack of regional policies to boost employment/conditions outside the South East (as someone who grew up in Wales in the 80's the government did pour money into the region after the mines closed) whereas subsequent governments have failed to bring higher paying work, just McJobs generally. 2. Leaving the EU is not a patch on the ageing population as a factor which will both reduce economic activity (outside Care/Health provision) whilst requiring massive increases in tax/cuts in other government spending to meet care/health needs. In terms of no deal, I know people involved on the computerisation work needed for it to happen on the relevant Friday recently. A number of glitches were found to exist in systems two days proior so goods would not have been able to enter or leave the country on the date we were supposed to leave with no deal......and the guy in charge had a holiday booked for the day too. You couldn't make it up. Edited April 18, 2019 by CCC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Ayers 171 Posted April 18, 2019 Being in Norfolk I don't think half of the county know we were in Europe in the first place! Brexit certainly hasn't affected sales! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark101 536 Posted April 19, 2019 I was/am a remain but I have got to the point that I just want a decision now, either way. Brexit not affecting sales here, currently on record month financially and still a week or so to go. I also heard that we have a record number of people employed or registered self employed in the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
