Unfortunately I can only agree with you though it does appear we are now scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Re: God help the UK!

Johnson is a proven liar, philanderer, fraud and charlaton and people actually admire him and his qualities.
There's no accounting for taste.

Re: Pick a side

Yes, even Abu Dhabi and Dubai were squaring up to each other with their armies a number of years ago.

Re: Iran captures British Tanker

I've never understood why pipelines were never run across the Oman Isthmus to Fujeria Port in the Arabian Sea to cut out tankers having to traverse the Straits of Hormuz.

Re: Light at the end of Boris' dark tunnel?

Alan Cameron was wrong to state that the referendum was anything more than advisory, it's that straight forward. The High Court have confirmed the referendum was only advisory and that's why they couldn't make a judgement even though they agreed the referendum was flawed. As I asked you several pos...

Re: Light at the end of Boris' dark tunnel?

The 2% majority has certainly gone - not only because of elderly deaths (predominately leavers) but every poll since has Remain at between 55 and over 60%. Now, in a true democracy, we would get to vote on any deal or remain. We are a representative democracy, not a dictatorial democracy. In a true...

Re: A specially strained relationship

It's not going to be as easy to make a trade deal as Leavers promised according to Liam Fox.

Re: Trump's Latest Pearls of Wisdom

I watched it Lloyd and it showed what a pair of chancers they are. If they were in the private sector they wouldn't last five minutes. As I've said many times, you reap what you sow.

Thanks for the information; our daughter is working in the UK and a card like the P Card would be ideal.
Again many thanks.

Re: Law allows Brits to live in Cyprus in case of no deal Brexit

It's up to the 27 members of the EU to decide, Cyprus is just one of them. There are nearly three times the number of Irish in the UK as there are Cypriots and the same goes for Polish people so we will have to wait and see if Cypriots are given favourable treatment.

Re: Law allows Brits to live in Cyprus in case of no deal Brexit

It only comes into law if it's reciprocated by the UK government so just clarification of the EU position.

Re: Estate agents & documentation required.

The Estate Agents just add their 5% to the selling price so if you want say €100,000 for your property they put it on the market for €105,000. Doesn't cost the seller anything, it's the buyer who pays the Agents fees.

Re: Dangerous Tala complex still in place despite demolition order

I know it may sound daft but knocking something down like that has to be thought through and planned otherwise the demolition crew could be killed or injured. I've seen the company I worked for demolish structures and all kinds of risk assessments have to be developed before we could do the work.
