It effects new retirees, and takes effect from the end of the transition period. But should we crash out with 'no deal' then existing retirees instantly lose their rights. IMO their rights should've been ring-fenced in the deal to protect them from such an awful scenario. If an existing retiree living in Portugal wanted to move to Spain after transition, say for better healthcare reasons, they wouldn't be able to do so freely. In effect they could be stuck in Spain or would have to come back to the UK. Most of this was agreed back in March and hasn't moved on much since. Lots of uncertainties, and people are understandably concerned...https://britishineurope.org/where-does-the-march-agreement-leave-me/

Her apology is frankly too little too > late. She didn't actually apologise, merely stated that she shouldn't have used that term. Not only did she insult EU citizens who legitimately exercised their right to live and work in the UK, but also the million+ UK citizens doing likewise in the EU. She trumpets ending Freedom of Movement as some kind of victory, yet by doing that she will take away the right of UK citizens to freely travel, work, study and live/retire in the EU. EU citizens will still be able to freely travel to 26 other countries, whereas for UK citizens it will be zilch. Some victory. Whenever I feel a modicum of sympathy for her current predicament I quickly remind myself that when it comes to immigration, May has always had a nasty streak. She was the architect of the 'hostile environment' at the Home Office, which led to the 'Go Home' advertising vans and appalling treatment of the Windrush generation. She's used Brexit to further her anti-immigration MO, a deal ending free movement with Brexit-lite attached as an addendum. And now she wants to reconcile with remainers, the same remainers she put down as 'citizens of nowhere'. Get. To. Fook..

And here's the view from the nation's living rooms... BBC, you gonna have to build an even taller tower :)

Yep, he originally called in 'Norway for now' which didn't go down well...

Hard, as it takes us out of the Single Market. It's also harder than the so called Chequers deal as that promised frictionless trade which May's deal doesn't. There's lots of fudge too. The 'Plan B' Norway option which is being talked about as an alternative should May's deal collapse, would keep us in the SM and is considered soft. IMO the Norway option best reflects the closeness of the referendum and I'm sure a lot of Remainers would've accepted that, but May egged on by the Brextremists got greedy...

It's the way he refers to the EU as a 4th Reich and then proceeds on full-authoritarian let's round 'em all up mode. Lack of self-awareness must run in the family...

He's not giving up...:)

I've found the obvious candidate to debate for No Deal, Corbybabes bro...:)

Interesting that May's laid down the challenge to Corbyn. At the election she was the one running scared from leaders' debates. And why have such a public debate, the public aren't voting on her deal, MPs are. I think she would win a debate with Corbyn simply because he hasn't got a proposal for a Brexit deal to speak of that isn't more cakeism. But even if he had, why should there be a debate on it, Parliament is voting on May's deal, not May's versus Corbyn's. Instead she should be debating with someone proposing No Deal, as that currently is the only legal alternative to May's deal. For anything else to happen, e.g an alternative deal or People's Vote, Article 50 needs to be extended with the EU's permission to allow for the time needed to carry out such an alternative strategy...

As long as the plywood is nailed/screwed to the joists properly, it will provide all the 'load-bearing' you need for furniture/people walking about etc. Eng wood flooring is just a finish and doesn't have a 'load-bearing' capacity. It's inherent 'strength' is that it's not supposed to move, warp, split, crack etc like normal floorboards can. Junckers, a leading manufacturer, make most of their boards 14mm thick...

Are you another hot date rah?...:)

Complex legal document written in complex legalese shocker. Corbybabes need not worry though, the Ladybird version will soon be out...

I've laid rubber tiles over a plywood sub-base and managed to get IMHO a good finish. Cutting the tiles where required was a doddle with a sharp Stanley/craft knife. You just have to be careful that the surface is very smooth and even. In your case it might be worth pouring a self-levelling compound over the concrete in order to achieve this...

Rubber flooring, easy to lay, comes in tiles and rolls. Dalsouple the best, but plenty of other suppliers out there...

What are you walking on if ''floor is up''? What's underneath, timber joists, solid concrete?...
