I do have a point? - my word - Danidl - we must go out and have a beer sometime. Many seasons greetings.
Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
I think you'll find I offered the assessment of the leading car valuers on the value at a Franchised dealer, and independent dealer, private good, private poor, part exchange and original price with specific adjustments based on various details of the original specification of one 04 Mini Cooper (I won't go into those specifics because I think you get the idea by now).
In my book thats about as close to a 'fact' as you can get.
btw - must you remind us of what kind of mobile you have every time you post - it's very annoying - do us all a favour and go to your settings and turn it off. Please.

You almost sound like we could share a beer there Shan - steady on.As I said previously in this thread, I take it as light hearted banter/discussion. A few " bods" on a bicycle forum aren't going to change world politics, but its always an interesting discussion to read others views. If someone wants to get "nasty" and behave like a wasp that's not my problem, I've had a lifetime of dealing with such, face to face. My device has an off switch. Carry on.
Has Michael Heseltine got a pedelec then ?

Dear oh dear. The adjusted value of a car can easy be a doubling depending on various factors. Here. Take a look. I did not make this up. This is Parkers. It holds for many models - not just Mini Coopers.
Take a look at the 'private good' value - which is tripled with the adjustments I have already listed. Any 10-15 yr old car will show vast differences depending on milage and condition - with Coopers it tends to be extenuated because the options you could buy them with were so dramatically different. An auto box makes a big difference - as does the panoramic roof - as does the auto-air conditioning - as does cruise control - and so the list goes on. A standard Cooper with no extras really is 1/3 the value as one with all the bells and knobs. Get me on another subject and you might stand a chance - fighting me on this you're just not going to win.... Even at the time of purchase you could almost add half as much again to the cost depending on the extras you out on the thing.
For a while all I did was buy and sell Coopers.
It's a sickness of mine.
I'm just messing with you. If you want to be here on Xmas day ranting away then go right ahead.
You think life-expectancy is all down to whether the government is responsible for health care? Doh! Wrong! The NHS is a disaster compared to a whole host of other countries that DO NOT have the government pay for the thing. Take a look outside that bubble you live in.
I've seen that previously and my view remains that it was a very obvious whitewashing. The BSE committee "suggests" 1970s origins and the inclusion of stats of different forms of BSE overseas decades after our original problem are fairly obvious pointers.

Oh do give over, you've had your fun, and you still don't impress by attempting a put down. How about posting on topic?
The Government doesn't pay for anything. We do.
And the NHS would fare far better without the Tory Clowns interfering with it.
If you want that to happen you shouldn't have voted for Brexit
As I pointed out, your posts are not serious ones are they? just intended as "wind ups", as no one could really hold such daft ideas as rational
Then you were a terrific salesman if you could find mugs to buy them at your prices. They must have been simpletons, as they could get them elsewhere for far less.
I am not denying that there are plenty of gullible people around, after all that is the only possible explanation of the Brexit vote isn't it? when all the promises made to the public have either been denied , retracted, or turned out simply to be lies.
Perhaps you should look to the comparative statistics between Canada and the USA, in terms of health care before making such sweeping statements. Infant and perinatal deaths in particular, are a very good measure of the performance of a health system..
"The life expectancy at birth for Americans has dropped for the second consecutive year, according to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The average lifespan as of 2016 is 78.6 years, down 0.1 years from 2015. This marks the first time it has decreased for two years in a row since 1962 and 1963."
Life expectancy 2015.
America. 78.74 years.
Canada. 82.14 years.
Remember we are now in the "Post truth era" where "alternative facts" are abundant. Right no longer means Right Wing, it means "I'm right" and if you disagree with my made up stories, I'll shout and shout until you no longer possess the will to live, then I can go and smile inanely on my podium.
Met Police is Failing to Protect Children (The Times)
Totally Clueless. Cops fail to ID suspects in 50% of cases (The Sun)
Our Vanishing Beat Bobbies. 44% haven’t seen a beat Bobbie for over 12 months. (The Daily Fail)
Heath Enquiry Officer to Retire on Full Pension (The Telegraph)
All from today’s front pages.
I wonder if the above is due to massive Conservative Government cuts to police funding by the Prime Minister when she was Home Secretary, plus the huge drain on resources investigating carefully selected sex cases from 40 to 50 years ago?
Or could it be revenge for the police having had the audacity to set in motion a series of events which expose Damien Green as a liar and someone who can’t be trusted to keep his roaming hands off women?

Well, you get what you pay for.
No mention of the increase in shoplifting ?
"Carefully selected" being the key words. Along with "historical" and "deceased".
The Press would have you believe that 17 Million people expressed "The will of the people" "Restoring Sovereignty" to the Government responsible for presiding over these failures.
Inferring of course that the EU was to blame, and that by voting "leave" all these failures and excesses would come to an end, as those in power would be cowed by "The will of the people"
When will "The Goodness start to flow"
Anyone care to guess?
It won't.
Even if remaining in the EU we were facing a path of continuing austerity since we couldn't live on ever increasing debt indefinitely.
But leaving the EU means a future of austerity plus.
