Referendum : to be in Europe or not to be ?, that is the question ! (REF)     

required field - 03 Feb 2016 10:00

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....

I am told one of the first signs of senility is repeating oneself.

Fred------------45% of (what figure) UK exports to the EU, less than 10% of (what figure) exports from EU to UK.

I want a vote to get rid of you 'Winging" outers.

2517GEORGE - 29 Apr 2016 13:25 - 1409 of 12628

In that case Stan we will treat you as per the EU--------- 27 against 1 for---sorry you can't have a vote.

as this is primarily a shares board .......
what sectors will benefit most if the vote is to stay in, which it (almost) certainly will be?

Dumbo,

P 1401


Are you an international lorry driver?

jimmy b - 29 Apr 2016 13:55 - 1412 of 12628

No Fred i owned a transport company and yes i have driven , but up until mid 2000's i knew every rule and regulation so no point you spouting off about tunnel costs road charges etc .

cynic - 29 Apr 2016 14:00 - 1413 of 12628

really tough biz that jimmy, especially in uk
main probs as i see it are the heavy cost of diesel and the expense of getting across the channel
domestically, the place is over-run with diddy companies cutting the legs off rates

jimmy b - 29 Apr 2016 14:25 - 1414 of 12628

I sold up after many years and yes it was always tough and not a level playing field with road tax and derv so cheap abroad ,plus road tolls which the Europeans didn't have to pay when they used our roads .However we had 1200 litre fuel tanks and mainly filled up in Luxembourg .I did ok in the end.

Stan - 29 Apr 2016 14:30 - 1415 of 12628

Well there's a surprise JB used to be a lorry driver.. who would have thought that listening to him "rant off" on a daily basis.

cynic - 29 Apr 2016 14:46 - 1416 of 12628

and eddie stobart?
anything derogatory to say about him stan?

Stan - 29 Apr 2016 15:00 - 1417 of 12628

Stobart? and what's he got to do with anything on here?

cynic - 29 Apr 2016 15:01 - 1418 of 12628

lorry driver you muppet!

Stan - 29 Apr 2016 15:02 - 1419 of 12628

Classic Pot & Kettle alert -):

cynic - 29 Apr 2016 15:29 - 1420 of 12628

go and polish up your crumpet ad for mr warburton :-)

Stan - 29 Apr 2016 15:43 - 1421 of 12628

Pardon?

jimmy b - 29 Apr 2016 16:04 - 1422 of 12628

Stan i had a transport company and yes in the early days i also drove .

Stan - 29 Apr 2016 16:14 - 1423 of 12628

In that case you may now be refered to as (JD) Jimmy Driver

Fred1new - 29 Apr 2016 18:27 - 1424 of 12628

Dumbo

plus road tolls which the Europeans didn't have to pay when they used our roads

So it will be easy to turn the screw if they wish to.

Tariffs for different loads etc..

Who will pay the cost of the paper work.

Fred, it's a two way street, and they use the street more than we do.
