The French are revolting.

So it just ended up of its own making that Britain went the service industry route and the French and Germans went the way of farming and industry.
Fine.

You would think with the fawning and admiration shown to her she was the second coming of Boudica.

Mottie probably has a picture of her above his fireplace.

Thanks to Maggie, things really took off for me and many others who had half a brain in the late eighties after the 'big bang'. It was hard in those days not to make money.

Comparing the north to London and the south.

Although gant is blaming the EU and not the Tories he does have some valid points

Well you did well with half a brain.

Fine.

What profitable industry did we have left?

She knew money was the easiest way of making money. Others were already more advanced in industry and farming.

 

[Mottie]

I don’t even think I had that.

Have you never watched Countryfile?

Even a f##ked clock is right, twice a day.............

Didn't hurt, some getting half-price houses too

So your saying we've got the same intensity of farming in the UK as France.
That set aside rule where British farmers got paid for leaving fields fallow never happened then.

 

[Brigadier]

About as much as you saying France has no service industry nor industry, to speak of.
Similarly, for Germany.

You just take you prejudice, and mash the keys to suit it.

Well we certainly decimated our heavy engineering industry and who does have a high reliance on manufacturing output, oh look it's Germany.
And can Germany and France compete anywhere near to the scale of what the square mile does.
Just had a look, no, no, nowhere have I said they didn't have a service industry, probably be very impractible if they did.
You keep mashing that keyboard being a smart ar*se.

We paid full price for ours. £32,500 which was a fair bit more than houses were going for in1984 but it came with a workshop and yard which we still own. We sold just the house and garden in 1990 and kept the workshop and yard. I’ve had both a good living and a good rental income on them since then. They are worth quite a bit more than the original purchase price too.

Fine.

I think that neatly sums it up, we’re really good at service industry stuff

 

[Brigadier]

Just had a look, no, no, nowhere have I said they didn't have a service industry, probably be very impractible if they did.

And nowhere did I say that UK had no farming industry.

And can Germany and France compete anywhere near to the scale of what the square mile does.

T'was ever thus, but you're claiming it is a recent thing; some sort of carve-up in the EU......

Well we certainly decimated our heavy engineering industry

Again, you're claiming that was due to some shady agreement, made in Europe.

You keep mashing that keyboard being a smart ar*se.

Just pointing out the weaknesses in your rantings.
