Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

oh yawn fred!

to repeat .......
there is already european legislation in place for this (you should know; you watched panorama), but the swiss and probably the luxemburgers too, only pay it lip service

But the tories want to lead us out of Europe.

Why?

Nicky Morgan (L) and Michael Gove (R) arrive at the ball

The Conservative party on Monday night auctioned off a shoe shopping trip with Theresa May, home secretary, and dinner at the Carlton Club with Sajid Javid, the culture secretary, at its final big fundraiser gala ahead of the general election.

More than a thousand City figures, business chiefs and entrepreneurs gathered at the Grosvenor House Hotel in central London for the lavish Black & White Ball, where party chiefs hoped to raise up to £3m for their election war chest.

The auction drew in hundreds of thousands of pounds for party coffers, with a night’s hire of private Mayfair club Annabel’s fetching £110,000. Other lots on offer included a trip on a private jet to Santorini, the use of a luxury 12-bed chalet in Verbier, a jogging session with Nicky Morgan, education secretary, and a “hearty weeknight roast chicken dinner” at chief whip Michael Gove’s home.

I have always wanted to see Gove sitting on the pavement with cap in hand!

Put up with the first 20-30 pages, the book then becomes very engaging. (Well it was for me, and reflects the 50s and 60s for many.)

I was born lucky and my guess so were you.

Who would want to go on a jogging session with Nicky Morgan?

I see Sky have won the rights to The Open from I think 2017 . Peter Alliss not happy , shocking decision I think personally. The R & A say it's not the money. Yeh I bet.

Gipsy great-grandfather's body 'could be EXHUMED' - because family of Muslim in neighbouring plot don't want their relative buried next to a 'non-believer'
Shadrack Smith, 89, buried in multi-faith cemetery after death in January
Bereft family had paid £2,500 to buy three plots side-by-side at cemetery
Family who own neighbouring plot complained Mr Smith was not Muslim
Smith family claim they were told that Mr Smith's body could be exhumed
Council denies it is considering exhumation but said it was committed 'to reaching an amicable and acceptable solution'


you could not make it up if they do not like us non believers then take the bodies back to their home lands simple .
and posters on here say muslims are good people this says they are not

Boris Johnson calls for EU referendum to be brought forward

The Mayor of London has said that the referendum on the UK's continued membership of the European Union should be brought forward

David Cameron should hold an in-out referendum on Britain’s membership next year to “get it done and knock it on the head”, Boris Johnson has said.


The Mayor of London, who is currently on a visit to America, said that a vote should be held as soon as possible because “this problem is not going away”.


He said that an un-reformed Europe is bad for Britain and said that there is “huge support” for the Prime Minister’s bid to renegotiate the UK’s relationship with Brussels before holding a referendum.


His comments follow reports that figures in Downing Street are exploring the possibility of holding the referendum next year.


However, there are concerns that holding the vote in 2016 will not give ministers enough time to renegotiate with Brussels.

Mr Johnson was responding to a call from John Longworth, the head of the British Chambers of Commerce, to hold the in-out referendum next year in order to end uncertainty for businesses.

The Mayor of London told LBC Radio: “That’s not a bad idea by the way. Let’s get it done and knock it on the head and do it for the good of Europe. This problem is not going away. The whole Eurozone is mired in low growth, low productivity, they have a very anti-competitive environment there, a terrible system of regulation coming from Brussels.

“We have huge support in Britain for a Conservative-led campaign to reform the EU and get some change.”

Don't worry Dave, even if the voters don't support you "We the Bankers and Tax Dodgers do".

And you can watch Georgie Boy and Me on the come dancing show to celebrate.

What has the tory under its present leadership lowered politics and said "democracy" to?

Is that SUPERCAM or SUPERSCAM?

why have the tax avoiders not been charged . ever one who has put money in tax avoidance must be charged and made to pay back double what they should of paid

but alas the are conservatives so they will not be charged and not pay it back
the con party for the cons

the conservative party silent on the issue the sleaze party who only go after
the poor on benefits which is correct but must be for all cheats

If the Euro continues to drop : it will be viable to buy new cars abroad once again !...

The car dealers in the UK then join together, in what can only be described as a 'fashionable way', and collectively refer to such cars as 'Imports'.

They then further unite and say, "We don't touch Imports".

Then, because they have made it hard for a punter to sell on an Import into the trade, the value of these cars drops excessively.

Thus the initial saving is lost later when the seller gets a low trade in value.

But how about selling such Imports back to the trade out of the UK? That might be the answer to rescue the lost value at 'trade in time'.

At this time, one then has to consider the Euro/GBP relationship once again. So the whole thing is a bit of a gamble and does require a lot of thought.

I imported a new Land Cruiser out of Cyprus years ago, saving myself £6,500 and also earning good profits for:

1. My car dealer in Leicester.
2. His agent in Cyprus.
3. The agent's Cyprus Toyota dealership.
4. The importer in Cyprus who supplied the Toyota dealership in Cyprus

Amazing, eh? Back in 2000 this new LC cost me 'roughly' a mere £27k in total. I think they are now around £58k in the UK???

HSBC HSBC files.

HSBC files show Tories raised over £5m from HSBC Swiss account holders... Oh you don't say.

Is it still running EL?
