    First Cov pub you had a drink in

    Yes, which is why I created a Coventry, „Old Chapelfields Style“ pub in Kiel and put pictures of Cov and City things in it. Then moved in above it. There is full page story entitled „a small piece of Coventry“ in the internet from the local paper which explains it .... in German. It is possible...

    First Cov pub you had a drink in

    My first beer was also 1/11d. Craven Arms, Chapelfields. 15 years old. Remember decimalisation and the price being rounded up to 10p ( 2 shillings ). We made our own halfcrowns at metalwork after official school closing time.... teachers impressed at our interest in metalwork...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I agree that capitalism brings many benefits. There is a difference between capitalism and what Trump is doing in taking away all checks on it and giving companies like BMW and VW a billion bonus each which they didn’t ask for or expect. And putting his government‘s generosity on the country‘s...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    My daughter‘s boyfriend is Spanish from Andalusia. It was a poor area before the EU. He is happy to have a job in Germany. As is his father. They certainly don’t hate the EU, but the don’t like the problems in Catalonia where the other brother lives and is now seen as a „migrant“.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Do you actually believe you are coming back to a place of sweetness and light? Thousands of new civi servants and over 20 new offices to replace the parasites of Brissels with the old school tie networks of Whitehall. We have one of the worst cabinets in history. The country has at least 9...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Who had a referendum on the colour of their passport? Do you seriously think that Thatcher would have been persuaded to change the colour of the passport which was never compulsory? You guys are always the poor oppressed victims. Younger people never even saw a blue passport. It was never an...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Assuming we are actually out when the new passports come. It is hardly a victory is it? If we are out of the EU, no one will be resisting the plucky Brits. We can have any colour we want and any wording accepted by the airlines, in that respect nothing has changed. The same as we have not...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The point is that it is not a victory. The UK could have had a blue passport the whole time.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Why even mention dictatorship? This is none and the EU isn’t proposing it. On the contrary they are trying to prevent it.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    What is allowed and what happens are two different things. Discrimination is illegal in the EU. Brexit is about making more borders as opposed to the EU.

    It has made my Christmas very Merry reading the Brexit Press and Farage. No frothing here, just side splitting ;-). Merry Christmas to you too.
