Firstly, the UK isn't running away, it's currently engaged in negotiations. Secondly, the EU is refusing to provide any details of it's financial demands. Thirdly, there will be no winners from restricted trade, though the EU as an entity will suffer most because of the balance of trade.

 
    Truth is  Britain is  bankrupt ,  we have a massive debt crisis .
    What  British owned ,  manufacturing companies , if any do  the  UK have ,
     GB is well and truely ,   fdk .

LOL.
Consequently you would have to drive an Indian car, have Indian furniture, eat indian currys and wear handwoven shirts from india.

I think there are some more battles in history. Who got a list ???

It's easy, if UK doesn't want to pay then just put a 300% import tax on everything from the UK to EU until the debt is paid.... UK's industries and farmers will be happy and we can see what will happen as it will be like the car industry where they are investing in EU countries but not in the UK because of the coming Brexit!

And who will pay for the cost of helping to protect the UK during the Battle of Britain when without the Americans Britain would have fallen to the Nazis?
 
And what about all those nationalities whose countries were not involved but who threw their hat into the ring to fight against fascism/Nazism?

Don't know never heard of Azincourt ???

It is obviously what many of the OLD did not expect.
Interesting is the fact that "Great Britain" sneaked back all time in history when it comes to pay money. So they left China, India and Kenya when it was evident that they could not have any benefit at all. (Or they were thrown out) And so it happened that they went into EU and now they can't see their fortune.....so they leave. It's a "CHERRY PICKING COUNTRY". Now Britain will become a unimportant little country which has still follow the EU rules (free trade) but without power and influence.

'We want our money back'

 
Here we go again......
the continuing animosities between the Pro-EU and the Pro-Brexit followers.
Considering that in this forum are only OLD and VERY OLD people participating we can see that the majority of Brits are favoring May's policy whereas the continental Europeans are strictly following EU regulations including paying the outstanding money back to EU. The Europeans are for freedom and don't like to have borders. Same as the overwhelming majority of YOUNG Brits. So we have the fact that the OLD BRITS cut off the future of the young.
May will not rule forever, maybe not even one year. And after a while there is time for a new referendum. This time the YOUNG will go for voting. For sure. But in the meantime UK will go into one direction only: DOWN. It's a shame.

 
No you didn't. You can thank the volunteers from Australia, New Zealand, Canada and other "Dominions" for that. The two decisive  battles that  changed the course of the war were Amiens and the 2nd  Battle of the Somme. At Amiens, the Australian Corps and Canadian Corps delivered decisive thrusts against the Germans. Combined with British and French attacks and supported by  the  Americans, the Germans were  decimated. 
At the 2nd battle of the Somme the heroic Australian Corps crossed the Somme and pushed the Germans back to the Hindenburg line. The New Zealand units  made decisive  captures. The Australian victory terrified  German's remaining allies and they started  suing for peace.
 
 Yes,  great Britain played a key role and the world owes heroes  Sir Winston and   Sir Arthur Harris an infinite debt of gratitude, and must never forget the suffering and damage incurred by Great Britain   but this does not  justify the two above awful claims.

If it wasn't for the profits they make, we'd have no research into new drugs.  Look into what it costs to bring a new drug to market.  It's insane.
 
What business doesn't want to make a profit?  And to say they don't care about patients is BS.  People go into medicine to help others, not just make money.

Technically true,, but only in terms of declarations of war, which are not actual "attacks".  The French and BEF (British Expeditionary Force) were  in fact attacked by the Germans.  Prior to that was the "Phoney War" or Sitzkrieg, lasting from 1 SEP 1939 (the invasion of Poland; Britain declared war two days later on the 3rd) until the German attack on France and the low countries on 10 May 1940, during which there were no hostilities (hence the name).  So your statement that "they weren't attacked by the Germans" is patently false; they in fact most certainly and famously were.
 
 

A deal is a deal.  If UK went in on an agreement, then it should honor that agreement.  Dragging up stuff from 70 yrs ago is not helpful.  Plus, Britain was attacked in WWII, so it was in their interest to counter-attack the attackers.  It so happened that much of that counter-attack was on French soil.

What they don't tell you is that the same medications used in the US are exported to foreign countries where they play 1/10th of the amount, and the companies still make a profit.   But there is no indication there is any effort to bring down the cost of medication.   I wonder why?

 

Greed that's why!. Big companies driven by profit know they won't sell their products in developing countries at that price. But in the west they will sell for as much as they can, not a care for the patient or wether they recover. As long as their execs get their bonuses.

How about we take out the cost of liberating your country from the Nazis

And we bailed em out in the First World War how about reparations for that!. 

We used to do this when we were kids never saw it damage trains or tracks just crushed coins. But the train and tracks were British steel maybe it was better quality. Difference here is we were kids this fool is earning a living larking about like a kid.

That reminds me I forgot to get baby carrots at Tescos

Living with a Thai it's usually something with boiled rice, chicken, seafood, pork, beef occasionally congee. But still get a hankering for bacon sausage and eggs so have that when I feel like it. Don't bother with cereals any more just full of sugar most of it.

Sounds like they pretty much make it up as they go along then to me even the pricing differs at different locations.

Maybe it's changed, but my UK licence was sufficient for me to get a Thai licence, although this was 8 years ago, in Bang Chak, Bangkok. There was no need to get it translated either.

Was that ฿500 total or 500 each?
 I was also going to relate that I was told if a person has a valid home country license they do not have to take a drive test etc. can anyone tell me how long the residence certificate from immigration is good for? 

Firstly nice post OP, thanks.
Chezy,  90 days from when?
From when you enter the country?
90 days in 1 year?
Could you clarify the 90 days please?

my queensland licence just listed the different classes, not car and motorbike so i had to do the whole thing again twice. once for car and once for motorbike. what a hassle.
