 Buttering your bread on both sides.

 

that’s the trouble with the EU; so many regulations that the man in the street can’t keep up with them.

 

The sooner we get our independence back, and the good-natured and kindly guidance of the village bobby, with none of your spec-wearing big city interfering busibodies coming round the estate looking for your still and asking stupid questions about the motors on the front green, the better

Apologies, but you did mention cows and boarders.

A friend in our small village has a farm, on which live a number of cows. Her fathers owns another farm in the village, also with cows.Now to show how stupid some E.U rules are, there are occasions when they will move a cow from her fathers field to an adjacent field, that belongs to his daughter. Simple you may think, NO, they have to enter the move in the cows passport, yes, I kid you not, cows must abide with E.U. rules, by having an up to date E.U cow passport. They then have to send the cows passport to the Bureaucrats, await it’s return,and then sometimes repeat the exercise, if they return the beast to it’s original pasture. So now you may understand, why I think the mad cows reside in Brussels.

Mooooooooooooooooooo

Absolutely shocking the length these bureaucrats will go to - who could possibly think of a reason why they would want to keep a centralised database that monitors every movement of a cow so that others it had come into contact with could be located quickly.

Its not been a shilling for a long time Grouse just swear an oath and sign the official secrets act. Malta was a British Forces Posting Overseas (BFPO) like Cyprus, Germany etc.

So, answer my point, why Malta? Germany I understand, Cyprus I inderstand. But Malta?

 

British Forces Post Office? Should I write?

Google is my friend

 

Under the Malta Independence Act, passed by the British Parliament in 1964, Malta gained independence from the United Kingdom as the State of Malta, with Elizabeth IIas its head of state and queen.^[21] The country became a republic in 1974. It has been a member state of the Commonwealth of Nations and the United Nations since independence, and joined the European Union in 2004; in 2008, it became part of the Eurozone.

I find it difficult to believe that 90% of his regt would vote remain within the EU when I have access to various military F/B pages, and most members on these sites voted to leave.

You attempt at humour is distasteful and insulting. I imagine your are the first to call the army or the police when it is needed.

 

If google is your friend use it. The British army had bases there until 1979

Also the British forces have stations everywhere, such as Belize, Canada etc where I did 6 months at each of these places, as an example

Knowingly telling lies, and when caught out attack. Your inspiration is clear, but it is not Churchill as you're pretending.

You are right. I just think that people should be grateful and respectful of the armed forces and public services. Being patriotic of your country, seems to be classed as racist nowadays with snowflakes offended at anything.

 

Lots of people have given their lives for their country and are still doing it today. I don't care what peoples political views are or religion but they should be grateful for what our forefathers did for us.

 

Ironic really as we are in a Thai forum and the Thai people are very patriotic and I am envious really. 

 

On the topic of Brexit when I have explained what the EU is and how it operates to Thai people they laugh and say they would never allow that here. So true.

S/bury..just why should I keep it a secret?..are you "loosing it a little bit"??

Yep, and our forefathers "up there" will be smiling to see their country back living under it's own flag and not under the flag of a bunch wannabes and spongers...
