  1. Threegee, I don't understand your logic! I believe my work ethic is as good as anyone, anywhere, ever! And is better than most, why do you say I don't believe in work ethic? I'm not implying you work for less money than the job pays but saying they shouldn't get any assistance if work is available. Assistance should not be more than fair pay! That discourages working. I believe If you cannot work then you should get assistance, if you can work you should IF you want the benefits such as pay and pension etc. I believe No one who can work and if work is available should stay at home and expect others to work to support them, naturally there are exceptions mom,s, I'll and incapable etc.

  3. Because we were told we couldn't in case it upset our EU visitors. I asked the same thing on facebook. Is it OK to say we are English now? And fly our flag again without the risk of upsetting anyone?

  4. Surprise surprise over one million have signed a petition demanding another referendum, maybe these folk think we should just keep on voting until they get the result that suits them. The 48% of voters who wished to Remain in the European Union are so mortified by the Leave result that a parliamentary petition calling for a second referendum has been set up. ‘We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based on a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum,’ the petition, filed this morning, reads. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/eu-referendum-petition_uk_576ce6d8e4b0232d331dafb4 What would the view have been if it ended as a win for remain, and all the leave campaigners called for another referendum, on your bike would be the answer I think The sooner article 50 is set in motion the better otherwise I sense trouble ahead

  5. "There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing" I like that saying, very appropriate for this part of the world. Snow shoes in the morning, shorts in the afternoon and Mac and wellies in the evening.

  6. They have loads of willow tree cuttings so it shouldn't cost them anything when they have to leave the site as they found it. As they will probably stay for at least 2 years (as long as they have started Bedlington's clause 50). They could have a separate counter from the ones selling EU produce, selling Granny Smiths and willow tree cuttings. I Remain optimistic. Eggy

  7. Fair enough, but that rule should have been implemented BEFORE the Referendum. Pillocks!

  8. I've seen this a couple of times: the facebook generation only talk to the facebook generation, so huge group-think sets in and they completely discount the fact that anyone might have opposing views. When they come up against the first person that doesn't agree, that person is immediately labelled as an extremist. Then, reality starts to dawn and they become indignant and outraged. I suppose it's just normal student protest updated: for every problem there's one simple solution: a protest march condemning those who just will not see! Perhaps we should be thankful for on-line petitions - they keep the streets tidier.

  11. May the copious amounts of food and drink you have consumed outside (due to the three degree rise in your body temperature temperature) for this Midsummer event have have freed your head of all your little frogs whilst you worship the sun hopping around the phallic maypole with flowers in your hair.
