General Discussion Area / Re: Mrs May's speech Friday afternoon
« on: 21 September 2018, 18:42:32 »
For those who want Mrs May to go, and those who want Brexit abandoned (against the wishes of the UK population) ... a simple question .....  :)

Do you honestly, and truly, really think the EU will simply allow us to revoke article 50 and carry on as if nothing had ever happened ??? If you do you live in a dream world ...

The EU will punish us as much as they can for even trying to leave, with "fees" to cover the expenses incurred, an a complete change of the way we are allowed to vote. They will rub their hands with glee and inflict as much harm on the economy as possible .. especially where they have changed rules already to restrict our access to things like banking, technology, etc ... to "rejoin" will cost ... big time .... they will ensure it .....




I don't remember who it was exactly but quite a few years ago, some EU representative laughed at the UK and stated that we was nothing more then a nation of corner shop keepers  >:(

The EU is in affect 2 countries ............... The New United Germany and France and believe me, its Germany that wears the trousers in that relationship.

With the exception of the UK, every other member is there to contribute to the "fund" and out of that, they get the feeling that they are a part of this wonderful club and it gives them a warm feeling in the crutch.


I've often asked myself what do the EU want us in there little club for ?

Imo, its for the London financial centre and to bail them out of the shit if the bullets start flying and nothing else.
Take away that and we have very little they want anymore.
These isles used to have a wealth of expertise and experience in pretty much everything.

Over the last 40 years, all these expertise have either oppsed off to the United States were the money for research is OR been swallowed up by European companies who now own those brains  >:(

For me, the EU have never had any intentions of any deal unless it totally destroys the UK as a world influence.
Bitterness for these isles because we once ruled most of the planet many many years ago is pathetic.
Does Spain or Portugal get the same ?
No because they keep there mouths shut and toe the line  :(
France is up Germanys arse anyway so there past exploites abroad is conveniently forgotten.

For me, brexit was about taking control of our Isles back from bussells.
You cannot have a democracy if you cannot debate and make your own laws without outside influence.

There should never have been any negocations at all imo because we could never expect them to play fair.
After the vote, the UK we should have sat down and decieded what exactly we are going to be in March 2019 and then told the EU our terms and left them to squabble amongst themselfes.

Even the local "Technical Collages" are calling themselves Universities now. Sounds rather posh for one day a week day release. Was never ever on the cards when i left school at 15 in 1959 to go on to higher education, just wasn,t considered a "working class" thing.

The original Beetle was great. I've had 4.
I had one in the late 60s. Kids used to fight to see who sat in the well at the back of the rear seat, (over the engine). As they were only small they all fitted in it. :D

Lidl and Aldi have been around a long time.

Good offeringboth in UK and over here. Plenty of customers I would suggest not going anywhere.

When the next crash comes they will be well placed.


What I dont understand is the merger of Asda and Sainsburies. Is it about economies by closing sites where both have a presence on the same retail park?
I live near a Sainsburys so use them because of the closeness, so was concerned that they would fall to Asda level. No need to worry as since they revamped the store to accommodate Argos, the Asda the other side of town is much better. ;D
It is probable one might close of course ;)
Yeah, have a Morrisons instead. :y

you can but a stud that screws in to "hang" the wheel on while you stick a couple of bolts in,then remove it ,if it is a problem to you  ;)


Yes, they're well worth having:





I've made several like this, but don't seem able to keep them.
They're also standard fit in certain Peugeot and Audi toolkits
Thanks Dave and Nick, that would have been a great help. :y  If i was still working, (retired now but was a centre lathe turner) i could have knocked on up in no time. Are they available commercially?

I took the front wheel off a couple of weeks ago to check out an unwanted rattle, which was easy enough. But. getting it back on was another matter. With wheel studs you could hang the wheel on them and then fit the nuts, but i found that with the bolts, aligning the wheel and bolt holes was a right PITA. Perhaps  i,m not as strong as i used to be or am i missing "the knack". Anyone else have this problem? Managed to hang the wheel on the lip on the hub and carefully inch it round till it lined up. :-[
