And amazingly high street landlords still increasing rents.
They will always do there best to, but they actually have a duty to their shareholders to get the best return on their investments and probably actually getting less with most of the big retailer claiming poverty and trying to renegotiate their contracts.
You only have to look at our high streets to see who went out of business in the last few years as the shops have not been re let.
Names like: Debenhams, House of Fraser, BHS, Maplins, The Money Shop, Bathstore, Office Outlet, Patisserie Valerie, HMV, Pound World, 99p Store, Children's World, Toy's R Us, and now Thomas Cook, to name just a few of the thousands of names that adorn vacant proprieties across the UK, If you want to invest in the UK I would suggest companies like VPS (Vacant Property Services).

Did he have the two Ronnies and John Cleese with him?

The Greater London Authority (GLA) said last month it had referred Johnson to Britain’s police watchdog for potential investigation over allegations of misconduct involving Arcuri.
The GLA said the allegations were that Johnson had a friendship with Arcuri and as a result of that friendship allowed her to participate in trade missions and receive sponsorship.
Fact is that on her own admission Boris had visited her "office", so Boris had dealings with this Woman, whether they were professional interests or as a friend seems that Boris may have failed to declare an interest while holding the office of Lord Mayor of London.
The one question that she could have been asked which she was not, did her office feature a bed?

This is about criminal investigations, the President is not above the law, if he was Innocent he would want to prove it.
This is likely to show, false accounting, money laundering, that he has lied to investors about his true wealth, and he is just a financial black hole that is about to implode.

Bonded ...as in Bondage??? ????
QuoteShe quipped that she once offered Johnson the chance to have a go on her dancing pole but he refused.
The real question is did she have a go on his?

Do you not think the calls were not recorded at both ends of telephone conversations?
IMHO the issue here is Trump being blackmailed as POTUS into doing favours for foreign states.

2 hours ago, Samui Bodoh said:The solution is easy; allow Northern Ireland to reunite with the rest of Ireland.
Erin go Bragh!
Are you suggesting bring the date of Armageddon forward?
To much inbred sectarianism, yes, ideally unite NI with the rest of the Island of Ireland but that would not be feasible in our life time.
IMHO the only solution would be to turn NI into a self governing British dependency, but as NI is proving it is not even able to form a legislative assembly to govern itself.
The issue is unless NI can self govern and allow its laws to align with EU rules then the Boris proposal will not work, NI being governed from Westminster is not going to be acceptable due to conflicting interests.

Referendums are not currently legally binding , that is not to say that legislation can not be introduced to make them so.
There is no reason why a referendum can not be legally binding, just depends on the wording of the bill that is needed for any referendum, but it makes common senses to make them only binding if there is a clear majority as done in most other countries.

Yes, they have wasted £billions, and continue to do so at the same time cause investors in British industry to rethink and invest elsewhere while more and more jobs go overseas.

Pattaya Police said they cannot station officers at those sites 24-hours a day, but will increase their patrols and issue fines to anyone ignoring the no parking restrictions.
Great revenue opportunity for City Hall if only they can get the fines paid...

Please try not to be so insulting for no reason towards another poster.
May's deal was 'leave in name only', and the boris 'deal' isn't much better.
The EU certainly didn't participate in "genuine negotiations", they dictated the terms of any talks, and May (a remainer) allowed them to get away with this.
That was not a reflection of my opinion of any poster...
Please do not try deflecting the issue with BS.
"May's deal was 'leave in name only', and the boris 'deal' isn't much better." that's your opinion which I disagree on, but why not put it to the country with a referendum?

Exactly, the EU has no intention of genuinely negotiating.
The EU participated in genuine negotiations, and a deal was reached, May's Deal... the UK parliament has rejected it... and now submitted anew set of proposals that are non starters, would you waste your weekend going round in circles and getting nowhere???

The article refers to Brits living in Britain...
London was the preferred destination, not Pattaya.
I am sure for Brits in Thailand (and their spouses to be ...or not) the figure would be a lot different.
I am sure a Stag do's in Soi 6 and the bride to be skipping her hen do for a trick or too would top the list...
Possibly the groom bumping into the bride to be in a Soi 6 bar... ????
Hays to buy Thomas Cook British stores in reprieve for up to 2,500 staff
in World News
Posted
After posting elsewhere some of the names that adorn vacant shops on Britain's high streets it is nice to think I was wrong on one if only for the 2500 staff who may now have future employment, though I do not see much of a future in package tours.
