But what are you, and the rest of us, going to be paying after Brexit?

No one knows what Brexit will bring, but the whole country had a choice and the majority wanted to leave.

The UK pay less than £2 per week per person to the EU, out of a total government spend of £270 per person per week, hardly enough to screw up our future for.

Even if it was, the leave vote has cost us a lot more than that since June.

As you don't mind paying, can I give you my bank details so you can pay me the 250€ a month I've lost since June?

That's exactly the reason I don't understand why anyone would vote to leave.

Maybe because people were just fed up with how it was.

Certainly. If you can explain to me how I have caused you to lose it. I'll pay it right after you lot have paid us for our beef and lamb your farmers keep burning when things don't go their way. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Without knowing how it would be? IMHO madness.

The leave vote caused sterling to crash, I assume you were one of those who voted to leave.

As the last time that happened was about 20 years ago, do you want it index linked?

Surely if sterling crashed, you could buy more of it with your French Euro's?

Index linked would be nice for the beef and the lamb but the fish was only last year. Is that how the French treat their European partners? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-31...-turn.html Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Most probably like most of us his income is derived from UK funds as either a pension or some other form of investment that is not easily encashed without large tax liabilities. Just as mine has dropped by £3500 per annum at the current rate if I had to convert all my pension and allowances into €, I don't as the OH has her salary converted at a special rate set monthly and offset by overseas living allowance, however not all have that luxury my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

So, Still lost in France chose to live in another country for a cheaper life and moans at those that are still here because his income has gone down? That's a chance he took when he moved to a foreign country to live I'm afraid. I'm sure I remember a few posts from him telling everyone how cheap it was to live in France. If you chose to move abroad and spend all your UK money over there, you can hardly expect us to care about it - why should we? Some you win....... Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

I seem to recall a nice blockade of the roads/rails to Calais with burning tyres about a week before that too.

Admittedly, there has been less of that in the last year though, but that's probably because the area around the jungle was not really a nice place to hold a protest, what with the migrants stealing all the combustibles for their own fires & roadblocks
