40-60 billion is the bill UK is to be charged (according to Sky News)


600 Billion is the cost to the EU/UK of Brexit in total.


Strangely the Arab Spring and the China Property bubble and US data quality issues

cost 600 billion - it's a standard figure people use I think :)


.. and UK public sector pension liabilities 600 billion - what coinicidence

We're definitely still getting that thought right? I mean, it was on a bus. A bus wouldn't lie.

Because now they have to look for ways to justify their vote and it's proving increasingly difficult and frustrating to do so.

I'm sure if given half a chance they'd 'metaphorically' behead us. I'm getting the feeling of what the French Revolution might have felt like.


Oh dear, I said "French"



I must be a traitor to the cause "Stop Talking sense"


*CHOP*

But you remainers are missing the bigger picture. Just think of the opportunities once free of EU rules:


Curly bananas weighed in pounds and ounces

Peckham Rye vineyard Champagne sold by the pint

Forest Hill fungus-free Roquefort matured for 24 hours

East Dulwich GM truffles harvested from Goose Green

Herne Hill spam prosciutto


There's money to be made for our Brexit-liberated entrepreneurs

Something i read today,,


Italy per capita income no higher now than 18 years ago (yes Eighteen!)

Output is the same level as the early 80s

The economy 7% smaller than in 2008

The population is 1 million higher


youth unemployment is now at 48% ( no wonder there 200,000 young italians in London - including my cousin's kids)


EU (or more specifically the Euro I guess) can cost a fair bit for some

How does that differ from Wales?

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
    • It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
