Leaving the EU without some kind of transition agreement in place is like moving out of your flat when you have no other housing lined up, but this seems to be what the UK is going to do. Or, it'll stay in after proclaiming loudly for years that it is leaving. Either way; Never before have I seen a country so utterly determined to shoot itself in the crotch. (Even the DUP start thinking different..... Brexit ...the story ...the joke ..)

Surprisingly useful though for learning a lot of European languages as they are largely based on it. Once you have coped with the intricacies of Latin grammar the rest are relatively easy.

I very likely have the largest private collection of Classical Latin texts in Thailand. These are far from meaningless or dead. The history of the Gracchi is of particular topical interest.

Bye bye Nisan - Sunderland, bye Honda, back to Japan as no import duty into the EU from there, and Mini.. will be manufactured in Borne - Limburg - NL.

Used to be true, but as many of the Brexiteers will tell you there are hundreds of thousands on British passport holders that speak two or three languages. Much to their dismay and to my delight! ???? I asked a Norwegian friend of mine how come he speaks five different languages fluently.

They had already told Cameron that they wouldn't give Britain a favourable deal if we chose to leave. That was before the vote but the Brexit Campaigners were singing from a different hymn sheet. Nobody can say they weren't warned because they were. What should have happened was a deal should have been negotiated and then a referendum once we knew the consequences. Instead we just went with the bulls*it and it has cost us dearly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact until the revision of the nationality act in 1981 you could become a British citizen by virtue of marriage to a British citizen. Hence all the pseudo Indian doctors allowed in from India/Pakistan Uganda etc and given UK citizenship, could get their wives in and granted citizenship without speaking a word of English. As I say up to 1981. No wonder the EEC ,as it was then, become concerned with the UKs motives and proceedures.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
