    It really doesn't matter as MPs have decided that we will remain within the eu.

     

    We're now looking at how the electorate will react to this.

    another ridiculous invention of yours like last weeks minus 5% German bond issue and the 11 Cents fall of the EUR vs. GBP.

    :cheesy:

     

    Hang on a minute, are you denying that many young, leave voters were convinced that brexit would make it difficult for them to holiday in the eu?

     

    Of course more than a few brexit voters had no idea, in the same way as more than a few remain voters had no idea.....

    Is it possible that they had no idea how to help fix the thing... I am generous but have no mechanical aptitude. If you are giving a gift, then asking others to help the recipient, you are giving them a job they might not want to do or be capable of... and then they are put in a position of having to say "No." [not polite] or admit they are not capable [not fun] - neither of which is comfortable for them... it doesn't sound to me as if they were being cruel or not generous, just not knowing how to react in an uncomfortable situation... 

     

    I have spent near 20 years living in a Thai village -your generosity will be noted and appreciated but likely nobody will ever verbalize it... 

    As I said previously, they rushed to help when I had problems starting the samlor....

     

    They also rushed over when a friend had problems starting his car.....

     

    I'm not trying to be dramatic about this, but the change of attitude was clear to see ☹️.

    Well, that's nice - - glad to hear something positive... sorry if I was too sensitive but I am just tired of the "all Thai" generalizations followed by a bash... I have noted in my village and nearby city that people are not only kind but generous in helping the-d least fortunate... I am glad he found a good use for the samlor. 

    I've never been the type to post generalisations, followed by a bash - as most Thais have gone out of their way to help me when I was in trouble.

     

    I was just shocked at their reaction to an extremely poor (destitute?) guy, as they've nearly always been so good to me!

    The eu have continually said that they would not allow an extension beyond the 12th April (unless uk MPs agree to their deal).

     

    Why are they changing their mind?
