I'm sure they would thrive under French taxation, wasn't it just a few weeks ago Cameron was inviting French entrepreneurs to the UK to avoid big tax hikes there ?

I'm sure they know the risks involved and plan accordingly sorry my mistake as above, their choice to live/invest there, if that is the situation then so be it. They can't, are the Spanish that silly to turn down tax income and jobs ? Were there no non Spanish businesses operating there before free movement regulations ? would not expect them to, why should they ? I'll agree about Cameron, and again would expect no preferential treatment from the EU block if we do leave. I would however have a bet that Spain will still want to sell us strawberries and tomatoes, France will still want to sell us cheese and wine and the Germans will still want to sell us their cars and technology. As for us Brits not being too popular in Europe....who cares ? I'm not particularly fond of the Spanish with their barbaric animal "sports", the French ? well we have never really hit it off with them and as for the Germans ? I think their 20th century history still makes them unpopular especially in the old eastern bloc countries. I also know individuals from all three countries that are 'nice' people.

Afraid you'd have to enlighten me as to what Branson and BP are up to in Spain. I also fail to see why the Spanish would want to kick out brits who are running successful businesses and paying their tax share, are they not desperate for the money ? Or is as Barrusso says everything now hunky dory in the eurozone ?

Nothing wrong with living/working in foreign climes if that's what they want, their choice, their risk. I'm sure those with property/businesses out there can still sell those assets if it was to go tights up, probably have to take a considerable financial hit but again, their choice their risk. Feel sorry for Barclays ? are you serious ? not in a million lifetimes.

I don't, they chose to go live in a foreign country and as such should have weighed up the risks of political change, they made their beds...... they could always apply for Spanish citizenship, if they have been there for the required ten years of course. nice lunch ?

Why so much concern for what is a comparatively small number of car workers ? What about the of thousands of skilled trades that have been forced out of the building industry over the last ten years due to cheap foreign labour imports ? What about the thousands of agricultural workers who can not find work or housing in their locality due to cheap foreign labour imports ? What about the thousands of waiting/bar/restaurant workers who can not find work because of cheap foreign labour imports ? What you going to do Cory when the day comes that your boss finds someone with the same qualifications as you who will work for a fraction of your salary ? Frankly I wish all you EUSSR-ophiles would sod off and live on the continent. Don't forget to shut the door firmly and permanantly behind yourselves on the way out

hello mate, would be a help if we knew where you are and where you intend to fish. you already have the gear to go sea fishing, all i use during the summer months is carp rods and bait runners for ledgering, float fishing, plugging and spinning. the only fish your likely to come across with big teeth are congers, bull huss tope and wrasse. bait can be area and species specific but as a general rule lugworm, ragworm, squid, sandeels, mackerel, cuttle and peeler crab will catch most things that swim. don't forget a selection of plugs and metal spinners for the summer, look for rocky areas and tide rips etc for a chance of bass, mackerel and garfish etc.

no shortage down here in the Selsey area during the season (sep-dec) for the last three years, not of huge size but compared to how it's been for the previous fifteen or so years where we didn't see a cod from season to season it's been good fishing. might be up your way in the summer big cod , how's the fishing at that time of year ?

theres a land rover defender in the Eastleigh area in Hampshire that has the plate C11NTS , I think it's funny in a juvenile sort of way.....would love to know what he paid for it
