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....

Max,
How much of the UK economy is owned by overseas ladies and gentlemen already?
(Russian, China owned. French companies, etc..)
What is the effect on tax raised in the UK?
I know you boys are wanting to be in charge of yourselves, but it seems some of you are already wetting yourselves.
Serice industries already moving away from London.
Great days ahead.

Let them leave all these so called pseudo British Companies. Then may be the gap can be filled with a new generation of start ups that may or may not work. I just cant stand the negativity of some.

Well I can think of one off the top of my head and that is the certainty that people are going to get back what they're already lost through devaluation of the £ already, and that's before anything else has been decided on our European membership...is it certain or not that they will get their losses back?
I'm sure I can think of more in time as can other people.

Jimbo,
So, do the Kias and Hy'n'dries depreciate more or less than the Mercs and Beemers? Ditto the junk the yanks produce? Seriously??
The five cars that depreciate the most... not a German car to be seen, but there's a Jag in the list!

Hilary , actually Mercedes do depreciate quite badly and i never understand why , look at the S class ,the CLS or the sports 2 seat models ,in fact just about all of them .
The build quality is excellent and mostly they are solid and reliable but they do dump their value hugely .
PS most of the cars in that list are junk anyway except the Jag which like Mercs do also seem to crash in value .

Is this because they like a lot of other make's of car are not of the same quality as they used to be.

I suspect the real reason for depreciation is upkeep costs.
Modern cars in general are fast becoming unfixable at a sensible price:
Full of electronics and specialised fittings that require main dealer servicing (expensive) Engine rebuilds are a thing of the past, ditto gearboxes etc.
When the mechanic needs a computer to tell him whats wrong, you know you are in trouble.
