    If I were you I'd careful before I went to a Vet, they might just put you down!

    Forget the negatives OG - this is good news and just what 'we' want to hear.

    I doubt that, there's a lot more to the Irish that an odd Leprechaun might have you believe. Might attract some Bankers from London, the craic is very good over there.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Grant you we were very slow with China. However, you surely agree that HK was a big problem for us in those formative days, still is to a degree but things are improving now.. Germany exports more to the UK than it does to China and has a fairly big trade deficit with them, more than offset by...

    Now we are making sense Europe will reject UK trade deal if Britain cuts EU red tape after Brexit, warns Michel Barnier I can accept the logic of this comment as I suspect so will the negotiating team. It makes sense and do note the corresponding offer from the EU here.

    Try this from Peter Lilley MP Trade and the Single Market are key referendum issues yet I am the only MP with first-hand experience of either. Sadly, when politicians debate issues of which they have no experience they seize on any plausible argument which supports their case, even arguments...

    I am, truly, sorry to hear that. Ironic that you should say this, but, the big difference here is that our pets don't get treated on the National Health we have to pay for them ourselves, when we need them. Like you say seems to work well. Assume you wouldn't have too much difficulty in...

    What an amazing response, but not a surprise to me. You are unpleasant in the extreme. As to whether I stay or go that obviously depends on the level of conversation and the value, or otherwise I get from being on here. That's both Tom and yourself that have today, suggested I leave - let me...

    Difficult to name every single person on here or for that matter everywhere else when responding to a previous post. OK, clever fellow aren't you, to have predicted doom and gloom and denigrated your fellow man as being an imbecile simply because he doesn't see things your way. Let's just say...

    Oh dear - not yet another 'Angry voice from Yorkshire'.

    One could, indeed should, say exactly the same for the Remainers. You were collectively wrong pre-vote, continue to be wrong and no doubt will be proved wrong post-Brexit.

    And this will change. What makes you say that, why would we kiss all that goodbye?

    Tell that to Joe. Do you really think that he would (want to) believe you. He's never had it so good, and yet here we are in the middle of austerity (to borrow a word from OT) and it has to get much worse before he sees any benefit from the EU?

    Fair comment but as said earlier I do believe, we (UK) will do well, probably better, outside the USE in the future, but I'm sure the door will always be open. To bring money back into the argument I wasn't saying that the 9% was the direct cost of doing trade, it's 'just' the cost of being a...

    Granny and eggs comes to mind now! Brexit, for us, was most definitely not about what the other 27 Nations wanted - actually, I'm not sure all of them are on board either, otherwise what's all the fuss about - they would pay us to leave! I'm sure we will do very well without the need to become...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Do you think that any other country in the world, apart from Norway, actually pay a premium to trade with the EU? I can accept that the EU wants to dissuade other members from leaving the party but this is not the way to do that. Non-EU countries do, of course, have to pay the external tariff...

    Can't help but agree, we are indeed lacking the clarity and leadership we need at this time. In that statement I feel compelled to include all the other political players in the local arena. Always remain positive though and I'm not so sure that now is the time to be quite so blunt?
