I'm voting to:

(a) scrap Trident, so that we can

(b) fit a load of otherwise surplus submarine engines to Great Britain, so that we can

© take the entire island on a cruise to somewhere more interesting. Possibly the Carribean. (Ireland probably needs to move out of the way.)

You didn't put that option in the poll, so I've clicked on 'in' for the time being.



That reminds me of one of my favourite Satirewire articles: http://www.satirewire.com/news/jan02/australia.shtml

In. I'm not sure I understand all of the implications enough (financial/social/political) as any "facts" have been spun so hard by both sides that it's impossible to known the truth. I've taken a philosophical view, namely, should we be trying to remain closer to other countries or distancing ourselves from them.....

I'm worrying that if we vote OUT, that the very next day the Queen will keel over


Then we'll have Boris orchestrating a state funeral, and Charles off his potty & onto the throne with Queenish Camilla sitting by his side


And we'll wonder how the fuck we all ended up there


Let's all hold hands and sing 'we are the world, we are the people'


And what will we call croissant and baguettes ?


Oh and please, let's go back to pre-decimal and the Police in Reliant Robins

Have been 'in' (by a fag paper) for a while but am now, if i force myself to admit it, a genuine 'undecided' and could go either way.


Yes, I know... there are so many unpleasant gobshites in the 'out' group and, well, we all want to play with the popular kids don't we?


I dunno. Always was suspicious of those popular f*ckers.

I remember a time when men worked all week and would bring home their wages and give them to their wives..


She would give him back some 'Pocket Money' for Beer and Baccy. and manage the home finances with the rest..


This may well of founded the idea of the E.E.C. and the E.U.


The E.U suggests we are not capable of managing our own finances..


Stuff the E.U. I'm OUT

Latest:


Remain a member of the European Union 96 81%


Leave the European Union 19 16%


Unsure 4 3%


Other 0 0%


Don't get me wrong, it's very interesting and a good idea, but asking the EDF users how they would vote on this issue is a bit like doing a straw poll of Guardian subscribers in Hampstead! It's certainly way out of kilter with the rest of the UK.

Can't vote but spouse is voting IN as is his entire family (siblings and parents).


Doesn't want a recession, and thinks economically UK is better off in Europe. What we pay for the trade access is well worth it.


Also, he doesn't mind immigrants (having married one). We have Polish friends. Virtually all EU migrants are in work so they pay their way in the country etc. Also, he doesn't value the idea of total sovereignty that much.

I'm starting to think Foxy is actually some element of a Turing Test.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
