Agreed, thought it'squite hard to explain this feeling. And applying for citizenship is not exactly cheap either!

Blooming heck I only just looked at the fees for citizenship.


It is much cheaper to renounce your British citizenship, I see. Part of me would quite like to press that button right now.


I really, really don't want to lose my EU citizenship, which I will need if my ex has to move back to Europe with his job, or the children all "migrate" back to his country of birth when they are grown.


It makes me so sad and angry. We were told that we were European, growing up - told to tear down borders. And we did. Some of us committed to making the idea of the "European family" the reality of our lives.

All remainers and all Regrexiteers and all people appalled by the disintegration of our political life should join the lib Dems, who absolutely cannot be blamed and are the only parliamentary party (bar Snp) unified in a commitment to stay.


I have always left politics to other people. Now I really feel I can't.

Exactly. They talk like people are chips. It's Thatcher all over again.


But then May has a strong record of heartlessness when it comes to migrants.


It's like a race to the bottom in the Tory party at the moment. Who can be the shi\\iest sh/t of all.

    • It's started. And seeing it just now made me feel genuinely a bit flat and sad. 
    • I'd forgotten about that place.  It wasn't a market as such, it was just run by one  couple. They did have some quite interesting things. I still have a mirror I got from there, which had been  put inside an old painted  shuttered window frame from somewhere in India. Mumbai I think. There also used to be occasional indoor  markets in the church hall where the cinema now is, next to where the Irish shop used to be. But if memory serves they were usually either jumble sales (do they still exist?) or craft sales before Christmas. There have also been occasional indoor markets at the church hall in Dulwich Village and the church hall at the church in Barry Road up by the Plough. There never seemed to be many people buying things at them. But it does all depend on what is being sold, whether it appeals to the local demographic,  where the market is located and how it is publicised. And, obviously,  whether it is profitable for the traders.
    • How the hell did Mad maxxi do that given the state of the rest of us?
    • "I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff."   I remember that little bric-a-brac, at the back of the solicitors' place. Still got a block type panel from there. The old solicitors on the corner would could be a good venue for a few indoor stalls
