Pot calling the kettle black by the current state of Spanish politics.

1. Most bikes aren’t meant to be brimmed...read the manual. 2. I can barely see into the tank with my helmet on so it’s easier to take it off anyway. It is also polite...unless it’s peeing down. 3. Do you just keep the pump flat out until it cuts off :shock: 4. I watched in horror as a guy filled up...

If I recall correctly....... Parliament voted by majority to invoke Article 50 so everyone on all sides who did so is responsible for that. The EU rules stipulated that there were no negotitations until Article 50 was invoked so there was no chance of pre-planning discussions. I don’t think the EU w...

This Nissan thing is ridiculous. They knew three years ago the leaving date so why wait until a few weeks before to make Brexit the third reason for not making one investment. Governments have caused the hammering of diesel sales, as far as I know, no-one is losing their job and further investment i...

But we don’t know (yet) whether we would have been better or worse off if we hadn’t joined the EU. We could have been much better off away from it all. I had no problem with the EEC. Similarly, we don’t know what is to come from staying or leaving. Both are crystal ball gazing. 20 years ago, who env...

Well said Catcitrus. You can only get a mutually beneficial deal if both parties are prepared to be decent about it. The EU never were so getting a ‘good’ deal was always going to be an uphill task but that doesn’t mean we have to accept a rubbish compromise. This deal may only last 2 years but what...

:D Just responding to statements made. I’m not twisting what you said. You have obviously been out of the country too long. Most Brits can barely keep to the left so getting them to change either then or now would have been carnage. Then or now, the expense would not be tolerated. And why should we ...

While I don’t dispute there have been benefits from being in the EU, it’s not all roses and there is a big wide world out there that the EU restricts our dealings with, including our Commonwealth, which is absurd. Why on earth should we throw phenomenol amounts of money converting to left hand drive...

I thought Catalunya voted to effectively to leave Spain therefore, by definition, the EU. If you are basing your whole opinion on friends and, what is worse, forum postings, that's quite worrying. That said, I have not been swayed by media 'information', only depressed by it. Just because we voted l...

Are you going to Akaroa? We found it by accident as we hadn’t got it on our original draft itinerary. South east of Christchurch, it’s an old volcano that’s opened into the sea. Fantastic twisty mountain roads or along the coast that makes a great loop. Lovely coves to visit on the outer coast that ...
