[david63]

We can't even have an argument about tipping now that P&O have abolished it.

Oh yes we can "Should we give a tip in addition to the included tip"

I suppose those who can have an argument in an empty room will manage that.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Then there's the drinks package. Should it be all inclusive?

Does Boris have a view? Or M. Barnier?

(Just to avoid going too far off topic!)

They clearly want to wring the last penny out of the UK Cash Cow!
They have no pride and no class.

Barney, That remark could equally apply to the Carnival approach since taking over P&O
There!! back to cruising

[barney]

That's true Ray, but I can't recall Carnival calling for a European Army, standardisation of taxes and monetary union.

That is the way the EU is going, whether you like it or not.

Then of course we have the resident agitators trying to throw a spanner in the works.

What a helpful chap he is. I'm sure that Mr. Barnier loves stuff like that.

But is this what Remainers voted for? I presume that is what they want and what they were marching for at the weekend, until they got sore feet!!

If only someone had said something like this might happen....

"Argentina will exploit a no-deal Brexit to 'enhance' its claims to Falklands, says its foreign minister"

[Mervyn and Trish]

They last tried it long before Brexit. I don't remember the EU task force rushing to help us.

I do remember our ships bring attacked with French manufactured Exocet missiles.

[oldbluefox]

And once we have the Forces of the Federal European Union I wonder if they will be rushing to keep the Falklands British anyway?

Is Gibraltar also listed as a British overseas territory? If so will Spain assist us in any claim that SPAIN makes on it?

You can't resist Jack can you.
A real harbinger of doom

Don't believe everything you read in tomorrows chip wrappings.

Was there a stroll in London or somewhere last week. I and it seems everyone else appears to have forgotten it already

Do you want to be lied to?

Is the border open today? Yes.

I'm guessing you don't want to think about the Falklands then?

[Manoverboard]

We ( anytime soon ) independent Brits will deffo hang on to and resolutely defend the Falklands … if only for the oil
