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.

Manuel,
You know you should never trust a conservative estimate.
The opinion is unlikely to have relationship to reality!

Network Rail upgrade delayed by government
Mark Carne, Network Rail CEO: "A lot of those targets just aren't achievable"
The government says it will delay or cut back a number of modernisation projects planned for Network Rail.
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin says rising costs and missed targets make the £38.5bn plan untenable.
He blamed Network Rail, saying it should have foreseen the improvements would cost more and take longer.

By the Way, is Cameron hiding away in Europe from his own party in the UK or his own failures?
Lies, lies, lies!

t reads like a parody, but this is a genuine taxpayer-funded report commissioned by the EU statistics agency Eurostat, released today:
The shock findings include the remarkable claim that:
“A clear seasonal pattern on tourism activity of residents of the European Union can be observed. The summer season (June-September) accounts for more than half (51.9%) of the total number of tourism nights spent by EU residents during the whole year”
People tend to go on holiday in the summer, you say? Surely not.
There’s more. The in-depth report reveals this incredible statistic:
“August is the leading month of departure for residents of a narrow majority of EU Member States, just ahead of July”
You mean most people go on holiday in the hottest month?

Cameron set to go to referendum without EU ratifying treaty changes
PM accused of settling for ‘post-dated cheque’ as British officials confirm he accepts UK vote will be held before all member states confirm changes
Nicholas Watt and Ian Traynor in Brussels
Friday 26 June 2015 07.57 BST
David Cameron is to hold a referendum on Britain’s EU membership without a guarantee that the EU’s other 27 member states will have ratified his proposed reforms by the time of the vote, British officials have acknowledged.
Labour and Ukip accused the prime minister of planning to offer the British people a “post-dated cheque”, after UK officials confirmed in Brussels that the referendum will be held before his proposed EU treaty change has been fully ratified.

You may know lots who will vote to leave, but the polls indicate otherwise. Logic also would tend to show that people will vote to stay in as they did in Scotland. The fear of leaving will keep them in. It is also clear that the government will press for us to stay in as Harold Wilson's government did years ago. Leaving the EU is a lost cause. We may, at most, stay on the fringes as we do now outside the Euro. The crunch will come a few years down the line when increased federalism will conflict with our sovereignty. Some EU countries will happily surrender their sovereignty, but not all.
