    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.....

    hang on a minute. do you believe fairy tales such as

    what's the weather nowadays in Brighton compared to Southern Europe? :laugh:

    The European commission confirmed last week that UK citizens would have to pay €7 for a travel permit, as part of the European Travel Information and Authorisation Scheme (Etias). It would be similar to the US Esta visa-waiver system: travellers will register their details and pay the fee in advance of travel (at least 72 hours prior to departure is advised), to obtain Etias authorisation, which is valid for three years.

     On the Tv this morning,they were discussing, how the E.u’s threat to make it difficult for Brits to travel for holidays on Europe by air or car, has backfired on them. While holiday establishments in the U.K. are enjoying a mini boom at the expense of Southern European resorts. Unfortunately it’s the poor citizens of those countries who will now suffer, not the overpaid Bureaucrats in Brussels.

    It will be interesting to see how the ever growing anti E.u parties, do in the forth coming E,u elections.

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

    :cheesy:

    Not interested in your Project Fear continuation from Jingly Times. How deep did you have to trawl for that?
    The UK paid a net 8 or 9 billion pounds to the EU last year. When we exit No Deal that shortfall will have to be made up by other EU members, or maybe just Germany.
     

    the "Jingly Times" quoted REUTERS!

    Why is the news outlets in the UK not broadcasting what happened yesterday in the EU? Germany is selling off Euro bonds at minus 5%, that means anyone buying them is paying 5% more than they are worth. Reported at over a billion Euros of bonds.

    because no news media anywhere publishes that kind of nonsense.

    This is to support the Euro which at midday went into free fall across the world.

    yeah right! to support a currency investors are attracted by interest rates which cause a loss. my dogs are wondering why i'm roaring with laughter. :cheesy:

    There’s only about ten of them who are net contributors and most of those only marginal. The rest are EU freeloaders. Will Portugal pick up the tab, as last year it was the fourth biggest scrounger at 2.5 billion? It’s the EU equivalent of your spoonies drinkers, no wonder you like it there.

    nobody has to pick up any tab and nobody has to cough up any amount. lower net proceeds means lower distributions. as simple as that!

    One point most people have missed is that (from one of the major English newspapers in Thailand) eleven financial companies and the biggest banks are currently testing the eKYC (know your client) apps. Once in operation supposedly by the end of the year, it will be impossible to have someone else use your bank cards or your bank account book to withdraw any money from your accounts. This is supposed to affect all accounts in Thailand once it comes into effect. Do a search and you can read the articles yourself.

    nonsense!

    wow it hurts for you Naam that Thai Government borrows a lot of money from abroad fore get the wheel to walk around in Thailand. See how much they have borrowed from the Chinese state.

    when ignorants present ridiculous rubbish in a financial forum it doesn't hurt but it amuses. 

     

    read and weep!

    Thais have a tendency to be quite traditional and if you are attractive and single they feel compelled to come up with an explanation for what they see as abnormal behavior.  Some of those possible explanations are not particularly flattering.

    thanks for the explanation. i'm not exposed to Thai polite society which surely would comment my abnormal life style unflattering.

    A single farang male is always going to raise eyebrows and questions in polite society and I imagine even more so in a rural environment.

    please enlighten me why and also define "polite society".

    I've been thinking about getting into it as a kind of backyard hobby, just for the eggs. Do you think it's worth the hassle? How many eggs would a pair of healthy ducks produce over time. just picking your brains as you seem to know a lot about this topic...

    living on a lake in Florida i raised a dozen ducks (1 day old Mallards). they turned out to be 4 males and 8 femals. after several months i had to fight crows, possums, gators and other animals to net daily 3 eggs. taste absoeffinglutely delicious! wouldn't touch chicken eggs anymore. tried in Thailand for the umpteenth time duck eggs and couldn't finish a single ugly tasting one.

    Learning how to slowdown and smell the roses, as it were, was a process.

    surprise! that's not at all the impression i got from reading all your comments including the "ancient" ones. but perhaps my judgment is biased by my perspective. it took me only a few months to slow down. that was 39 years ago.
