Still not old enough to vote.

 

Your interest in me is pure nosiness, debate the topic not me, I am not the slightest bit interested in your age or circumstance but I am interested in your point of view, if you think that makes me the immature one then you're off your rocker.

"Crock"....Even though in the UK I was involved with USA stuff I have NEVER heard the term "crock", which we all know is a USA term for rubbish...."Crock of shit"...

I think it is a very British topic, no?

Crock is a common word. Old slang.

The British expression, a crock, coming from the Scottish term for an old horse, implying broken, is quite separate from the American expression of a crock of shit, coming from the notion crockery full of shit, implying lots of it.

 

I really don't have to come clean for knowing my language much better than you, it is already evident.

Indeed, but some may have to Gloooogle "Crock"...

 they are quite likely to get another referendum in the future

Some believe article 50 is not reversible some believe it is maybe because of this kind of logic.

Snippet :-

If the article 50 rule stands as irreversible and that legal logic held up in further cases, it would fundamentally alter the negotiating position of the UK government in its exit dealings with the EU.

Basically, the advantage would now lie with the EU.

The EU would know that the UK will be ejected from the union in two years time in a "hard Brexit" even if no deal is reached.

There is nothing the UK can do to stop that.

The EU retains the power to decline any deal and let the clock run out — at which point the UK is out with no deal.

 

Let war begin.

Did you vote in '75 or were you still in nappies ?

 

 

 

I did and I believed that I was right.

 

In 2016 I knew that I was wrong back then, but I had to wait those 40 years until I could change my decision into a leave vote.

It didn't end in 1975, the disappointment, argument and debate continued right up to till they got their way and had another referendum in 2016, and just the same, the disappointment, argument and debate continues since 2016, and they are quite likely to get another referendum in the future, increasingly likely.

Not sure why you took my first comment seriously, it was obviously a light hearted throw away response to yet another survey; now we have people arguing about the meaning of the word  “crock”

 

I think everyone is getting too wound up, and this thread is starting to disappear up its own backside

There are many instances of use of expressions from other countries that have become common usage. Why does it surprise you?

Yeah well we know why it was left so long because they believed the vote for stay would be the over whelming result.

No, it is a Scottish term for an old horse and is used to mean broken or rubbish, the American term has the word shit in it, does not share the same etymology. but also is used to mean rubbish.  I am sure its all a but difficult for you to understand, especially as you've only had it explained to you twice.

Indeed. The previous main Brexit went for nearly 1000 pages before being shut down due to a discussion on British cars!

pretty narrow outlook, especially when it concerns a man that could affect the future of the entire world. and in Britain's case even more so, given their propensity to pull a "blair" and kiss up to america so embarasingly.

I asked my librarian about a book about Pavlov's dog and Schroedinger's cat. She said it rang a bell but she wasn't sure if it was there or not.

You would think they would be grateful after their history! But no, they prefer a facist government. 

Maybe they (Polish) are smarter than you give them credit for!
