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

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
    • Hi. Does anyone know of a silver making jewellery workshop. I am trying to find something nice for my daughter’s 18th birthday.l for her and some friends but everything I find online is too pricey or can’t accommodate 10 girls. Thanks
