Re: Cost of Brexit: The impact on business and the economy so far
I would just like to say that's a pretty flippant remark, considering Nestle, (or as we in York still call it, Rowntrees), is one of the largest employers in the city.

Re: Surprise of the first hot night
That must have been very upsetting Dominic, I nearly speared one with a garden fork once when I decided to move a grass that had outgrown it's space, it was only when I lifted the plant that I discovered a hibernating hedgehog :shock: .... Thankfully, I hadn't injured the poor thing & relocated ...

Re: German investors redistribute resources following Brexit
I agree HiC, the rise in food prices, energy bills, council tax etc is certainly not scare mongering, they are facts. The British consumer is in for a rough ride ahead, & having kept the economy buoyant previously with continued spending, they are starting to tighten their belts.

Re: Open Message to all forum members

Re: Lloyds Of London Move
I never suggested they would move lock, stock & barrel to Brussels, I was merely pointing out that if they saw the necessity to open a subsidiary there, then others would surely follow in order to keep their passporting rights also.
