It is to do with Brexit though:-), as it's an excellent example of the confused and misinformed nonsense that seems to have played a part in the decision making of some of the people who voted leave.
And your an excellent example of spouting the sort of sanctimonious better than thou’ bollox that got some people’s backs up and made them get off their arse and vote out. Thanks for helping tip the balance to leave It's even more bizarre that you're still cheerleading leave. Yet again you seem to think that politics is like sport, you pick a team and stick with them through thick and thin. The more evidence stacks up against your team.....most comprehensively failing British government so far, Brexit a disaster etc, the more partisan you become. Thank you, keep it coming. You think you won :-) but everybody lost :-(. You definitely lost, I see the Tory polls are on the up again, you must be delighted about that too I'm optimistic that they'll f*** it up so hard, even your pension pot will be on the line. I just despair about how comfortable people are sacrificing the most vulnerable in society for their cruel and misguided political ideals. Life is good for me though, that's a solid insulation against your dumb trolling. (joking about the pension of course) Let's hope after 8 years of relentless failure, they can turn things around. All I want is competent people running the country, I don't care who does it. Do you remember when average wages and living standards used to improve every year? Now they fall every year. We used regulate the natural environment, fund our hospitals, educate our children to the best possible standard, fund our fire brigades and police, repair our roads, I could go on. unfortunately we did all those things by borrowing money we couldn't really afford, we are now paying for it all these years later. The pensions we offered years ago (which everyone is fighting to keep) is going to push this country and others into a blackhole the likes we haven't seen yet

have a look at the ATKINS DIET - LOW CARB..... all the meat , eggs and cheese you can eat.
Bacon for breakie
steak and egg for lunch
Easiest diet ive been on and lost over 3 stone in process (knocking 20 when started) and the easiest one ive found to stick too.
Hardest bit is to stick to Gin N tonic rather than a pint

Tikay- I cant really think of anyone but you to ask this one......
My mum has always wanted to do a train journey through Scottish Hills or something similar and im looking to sort for a 40th wedding anniversary , just wondering if you've done anything similar and the best place to start, would like a old style chuff chuff if possible and a good amount of time on-board, price wise happy for £800 ish for two people as leaves money in the pot for hotel.
ty for any info in advance
...some lovely, no doubt pricey, little chuff chuffs here.... https://www.belmond.com/trainsI wish I could afford / justify one of these trips but a bit pricey (maybe for their 50th wedding anniversary). Some of the others TK sent over look good, budget upped to £1500 for the pair !

At Eastbourne, we had a walk along the pier. Nice pier, as piers go. Had a chippy, a tea room, 2 amusement arcades, a souvenir shop, usual sort of thing. Could not help but wonder how much money these piers - lovely as they are - must lose. This one had been on the market for £5.5 milly last year. No idea if that included the freehold. Can a pier, set in the sea, have a freehold? Click to see full-size image. |
i did post a few pages but got lost, this is right up your alley with piers and trains http://www.savehythepier.org.uk/hythe-pier-train.asp
