I did a masters degree and my dissertation was on Wind Energy, I presented a paper to the government as part of their initial wave of applications for offshore wind farms. I worked on a number of their planning applications for the consultancy that I was employed by... then I got head hunted...

Have you ever been to a modern factory? Here's a picture of the Mclaren factory so you can see how out of touch with the way the world is going. not an oily rag in sight... aim forwards not backwards :)

Does anyone know of a KTM eRace P that might have been stolen. We've got a classic "I need to buy a charger and some keys" situation, and its screaming stolen bike. Possibly from Ireland / Northern Ireland area.

so do I :) no comment on the cost of living in the other countries you've highlighted then? So shall just put your support for Brexit in with the others who seem to have their head in the clouds and sand at the same time.

Have you been to any of those countries. Do you even understand what they have that is causing them to be ok for populations who live there who pay out the huge cost of living to be there? Just check out the prices in Norway. Indices Difference Consumer Prices in United Kingdom are 34.86%...

I think JC managed to achieve what the "Leave" campaign leaders wanted, ie to loose, but only just. Meaning they can carry on, without any of the pressure of actually doing anything, so you can always claim your ideas were better without ever being able to prove it. The problem for "Leave"...

You're obsessed with missing even your own point. We're talking about your business... these were your words. You're now pro brexit because it won't have a negative impact on your business. How can housing / traffic and social cohesion have an impact on your business?? So you're just talking...

You don't think that might be a bit selfish? Just because "it doesn't hurt your business" doesn't mean its a bad idea for everyone else. And how can a shrinking economy be good for your business?

So you're now admitting that the idea of leaving the EU is a crazy one?

More interesting finding of just how blindly stupid the UK public are currently being. 60% of leave voters.... 60% What the **** did they think they were voting for???

No we're not... we're currently in the EU and not in the Schengen, there are a host of decisions and choices to make about where we end up.

So not Norway style at all then... and have you been to Norway or Switzerland. The cost of living is off the chart compared to the UK, there are going to be some very upset leave voters if we go down that route. Even the people / governments of Norway and Switzerland have said we'd be crazy to...

Ah, Norway, that famously cheap place to live, that's in the Schengen zone, so has unlimited uncontrolled migration from within the EU. I can see that going down well with everyone.

So you think a bike brand would be able to start up, compete with the far east on pricing, whilst also limiting itself to the relatively tiny UK cycling market. What sort of bikes do you think they could make? How do you think they'd be able to compete with the established brands from that...

So the plan now is that from scratch, we're going to start competing with the Far East... I think we might be 50 years too late for that, especially as the UK market isn't big enough to sustain that practice, you'd need to export to someone like the EU.... on no wait they can already buy bikes...

Yes, but we're not talking about the impact on the UK, are we. We're talking about the impact on EU exporters into the UK. Which is very different. You said. and that's what I'm talking about. I"m saying as someone who works with a lot of EU exporters that they don't need it. It won't...

You don't seem to want to acknowledge what I keep telling you. The EU exporters (I know I work with lots of them) don't need frictionless access to the UK. The border won't effect them, the UK customers have no choice, we'll still buy from the EU exporters because we have no choice. The...

This shows a fundamental lack of understanding of trade and its something I've seen consistently from "leave" voters over the past 2 years. The EU27 will benefit if we fall back to WTO deals with them, for a number of reasons. 1) Business in the UK that do more than 50% of their trade to the...
