Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

T. Maybe's negotiations with her own party, reminds me of "Peace in our time" speech made by Chamberlain waving a little bit of paper and been cheered by the mob.
Just a thought.

The Japs do not produce quality cars like Aston Martin`s or the likes of Hand Built Morgan`s Fred. So stick to British.

CT,
Made probably my last motor home to France last year (2018) down to Dauphin and Marseille.
After retiring I bought a medium-sized American Motorhome (home on wheels) and mostly wild camped throughout France, Spain and Portugal unless my grandchildren or wife were with me when used the campsites which in France are superb for kids and outside events.
Probably one of the most enjoyable periods of my life, especially in the Dordogne or parked up on the west coast of Portugal.
If you still use a motor home, have a quick look at:

Sold mine some time ago Fred but continued with the Fixed Mobiles on the French Campsites for my youngest daughter but might buy another to wander around Portugal once Brexit is sorted and the GBP is strong again. (Give it two years and expect the rate to be around £1 = 1.6 eu.) However, she is now past wanting to come on holiday with her parents. Still 4/5* Hotels will do for now for us.

In particular a closely watched gauge of the world’s fifth-biggest economy, the IHS Markit/CIPS UK Services Purchasing Managers’ Index, fell to 50.1 in January from 51.2 in December — its lowest level since July 2016 and barely above the 50 mark that separates growth from contraction.
A Reuters poll of economists had expected a reading of 51.1.
Britain’s economy defied forecasts from some economists that it would go into recession after the 2016 referendum vote to leave the European Union. But growth slowed sharply in late 2018 as worries mounted about an abrupt, no-deal Brexit.

Stan you need to be accurate when posting Brexit sensitive info.
Here is the correct info:
The UK services purchasing managers' index fell to 51.1 in January, down from 51.2 in December, according to IHS Markit.
The latest reading was the lowest for two-and-a-half years and the second-weakest since December 2012.
