Really pleased to see your post this morning and therefore assume all is relatively normal with you. Stay safe. X

Not sure tbh, unlike others on here I’m not so desperate for info that I post without reading an article. I can however state with a strong degree of probability that chicken from the Indian sub continent is not being served on that well known River Class Warship HMS 7 whilst she still is in active service today, nor do I presume said chicken pieces will be part of the delicacies enjoyed by those attending the next mountain oyster celebrations.

“Since Brexit wasn’t the cause of the UK’s inflationary cost of living issues, going back into the bloc (full membership or just the Single Market) won’t alleviate these problems. In fact, many EU / Eurozone countries are suffering from an as bad, worse, or even considerably worse inflationary cost of living crisis than the UK. The current cost of living crisis is a worldwide phenomenon and so includes many EU countries, whose citizens are experiencing just as bad or even worse cost of living crisis as their counterparts in the UK, including comparable economies like France and Spain, where a recent study found that a basket of the same 23 everyday food and household items was pricier in these two countries than the UK. A study by economist Michael Saunders for research body Oxford Economics says that examining a range of food and drink prices, UK prices are typically 7% below the EU average-with bread, meat, and fish in particular relatively cheap. The study shows the UK’s competitive supermarket sector plays a role in keeping prices down. By contrast, before 2015 (when the UK was still in the EU Single Market) on average groceries were pricier in the UK than in the EU.” Andrew Bailey Governor, Bank of England.

The Liverpool manager flies to Kabul to watch a young Afghani play football. He is suitably impressed and arranges for the player to come over. Two weeks later Liverpool are 2-0 down to Newcastle with only 20 minutes left The manager gives the young Afghani striker the nod, and on he goes. The lad is a sensation. He scores 3 goals in 20 minutes and wins the game for Liverpool . The fans are delighted, the players and the coach are delighted and the media love the new star. When the player comes off the pitch he phones his mum to tell her about his first day in English football. 'Hello mum, guess what?' he says 'I played for 20 minutes today, we were 2 - 0 down but I scored 3, they call it a hat-trick, and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the press, they all love me.' 'Just wonderful,' says his mum, 'Let me tell you about my day … Your father got shot in the street, your sister and I were ambushed and assaulted, she would have been raped but for a passing police vehicle.Your brother has joined a local gang of looters and set fire to some buildings and all while you tell me that you were having a great time!!' The young lad is very upset. 'What can I say mum, but I'm really sorry.' Sorry?!!! Sorry?!!!' says his mum. 'It's your bloody fault we came to Liverpool in the first place!'

An old Pilot sat down in Starbucks and ordered a cup of coffee. As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the pilot and asked, ‘Are you a real pilot?’ He replied, ‘Well, I’ve spent my whole life flying biplanes, Cubs, Aeronca’s, Neiuports, flew in WWII in a B-29, and later in the Korean conflict, taught 50 people to fly and gave rides to hundreds, so I guess I am a pilot – what about you?’ She said, ‘I’m a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about naked women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women. When I shower, I think about naked women When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women.’ The two sat sipping in silence. A little while later, a young man sat down on the other side of the old pilot and asked, ‘Are you a real pilot?’ He replied, ‘I always thought I was, but I just found out I’m a lesbian.’

Are you saying the value of your house didn’t fall by 30% following Brexit Ant? I thought it was just mine that’s continued to rise.

You, me and Gozzer as well, Gozzer had a brilliant idea for a fan cleaning business a few years ago. I thought it would be a great help for the thousands and thousands of people who lost their jobs the day after Brexit.

Remember that the OBR estimated that the GDP loss - due to exiting the EU - will be 4 per cent of GDP by 2030. What they forgot to mention is that In 2005 Gordon Brown estimated the cost of EU regulations, is in excess of 7% of total GDP every year. By 2030 that would total 49% of GDP - ie over 12 times the OBR’s estimate of loss - which is why we need to press ahead with the repeal of many legacy EU regulations. But the gains from leaving the EU are becoming clearer, in the form of policies that would have been legally or psychologically impossible to execute while part of the EU. The AUKUS agreement would be a no go if the U.K. remained, and that is just one of many.

And remember that General Gordon was there to put an end to the Slave trade in that area and paid for his repulsion on the subject with his life.

Is this a new house price crash or a continuation of the multiple housing market crashes that have been ongoing since 2016 Ken? If I recall correctly the fall immediately after the Brexit vote was predicted at 30%. on another point Ken, I see you will have to amend your list of business losses due to membership of the EU as Cadbury have decided to return their base business operations to U.K. Now we just need Ford to return to Southampton and we’ll be well on the way to repairing some of the damage to this Country caused by EU membership. Perhaps the windfall tax proposed by Libour can pay for that as well along with everything else it’s going to cover including everybody’s Christmas and birthday presents for the next five years and a supplement to the expenditure of the tooth fairy.

Is it time for the dribble dribble song yet people?

Whose manifesto is that now and where/when do we vote?

All of that astrology shite is total crap without any basis whatsoever. I fail to see that the day of someone’s birth can dictate their thoughts or actions. But I’m a Taurus and that’s what we’re like.

Clever manipulation of fact to the question is he a BBC Employee? perhaps something to do with the £4.9m tax bill the tax man is chasing him for that he says is the responsibility of the BBC.
