antony1969 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Fingers crossed it may soon be over I seem to remember that Scotland on Sea women who told us during the election campaign it would be her and back bencher Ed in charge pretty soon telling us how that place above Northumberland , the UKs very own Greece would stay in Europe if it was owt t'do with her Does this mean we can finally get rid of that burden too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Perhaps we should leave the EU and start our own free trade association with other states - something like a Common Market - oh dear does that sound familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Collings Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Been there done it. Commonwealth formerly Empire. Only we repaid their loyalty in two world wars by abandoning them for the EC. Our post war leaders anxious to avoid yet another bloodbath in Europe acted in good faith but I would not have voted to join as I did had I known where that would lead. Does Europe want us out or in. Its interesting times we live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence they keep pouring millions into a greece shapen black hole. The single currency won"t collapse Greece is too small for that to have any impact. Heres hoping the greeks do default and leave the euro, then a 40% devaluation is going to make Greece very attractive for m/hs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that the great thing about our new cashless society ? No-one actually gives anyone else any money - you just transfer numbers electronically. ;-) p.s .

LordThornber Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 No glee from me. I pay the price of the euro that is advertised to me, I can't change it. I'm very concerned for the Greek oap's that are without bank cards for example. Yes there are plenty that are having to queue for their €120, it must be awful.
