But for the avoidance of doubt there were experts on both sides and so-called experts and 'experts' in abundance too. I thought there were more dodgy 'experts' trotted out on the Remain side (probably because of the vested interests they tend to have) but that is nothing whatsoever to do with whether I favoured Remain or Leave - just my view.


But to suggest (as you seem to) that I've taken a view against certain 'experts' because they were in favour of the Remain camp just underlines the fact that you have not read my post properly - had you done so it would have been pretty clear I voted to remain, otherwise I would not have said "I'm disappointed about the vote result"!

no, it's not.

Define vested interest (V) amounts as follows:


RSCE - remain so-called experts V

LSCE - leave so-called experts V

RE - remain experts V

LE - leave experts V

R - remain opinion holders in general V

L - leave opinion holders in general V


Are you saying:

RSCE > LSCE

RE > LE

R > L


...or something else?

Sorry but that's complete nonsense! Your time would have been better spent reading my clear and simple wording than writing all that guff!


To save you scrolling up - I said "I thought there were more dodgy 'experts' trotted out on the Remain side (probably because of the vested interests they tend to have).


What part of that sentence don't you understand? You ask "who is 'they'?" Seriously?

Many champagne socialists of the Corbynite camp use the Co-op....

I think the Archbishop of Canterbury summed it up when he said the poor suffer under mass immigration.

And the poor may also be poorly educated and unable to hold their own in this debate- which is dominated by the verbosity of the hysterical middle-classes, who, in the main, branded them racist- completely out of hand.

No. But then I'm pleased to say that in the real world neither do I come across people that deliberately try to pick an argument by setting up false constructs or by asking fatuous questions designed merely to provoke a response or to make a bad point.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
