RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted June 24, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 24, 2016 Night / Morning all. Delete that which is not required. Waiting to hear if my region voted in accordance with my wishes. Early results are proving of interest with some Blue Heartlands voting Leave. If I were the Prime Nuisance Minister I'd be ordering a change of underwear. Father was seen at the hospital yesterday. His condition is consistent with a blockage in the alimentary canal but none can be found. He's been referred for an urgent CT scan. He continues to not eat at life-sustaining levels though has remained stable over the past few days. He is more or less unable to fend for himself and often confined to bed but does manage some time sitting in his chair. Mum is said to be "very tired". They have made the difficult decision to not travel to my aunt's funeral. I'm prepared for a hasty trip back to the UK which I fear might be needed very soon. Today is really cold here. Uncommonly so. Barely 5C and with a bitter wind taking the apparent temperature at almost mid-day to -1.6C I can't remember any time in 16 years when it's felt this cold here. At least I can stay home curled up with the cat and the heaters on full. Snow reported on nearby high ground and for the only time in memory icy conditions are affecting a few suburban bus routes which venture up into the hills. TGIF. Celebrate POETS Day if you can.

trisonic Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Essex seems to be firmly Brexit or should that be Essexexit? Whatever happens Scotland will complain, anyway. Best, Pete. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted June 24, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 24, 2016 I caught a bit of reportage tonight. Talking about blue and orange (or was it red?) and changing colours, but no suggestion of what the colours stood for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

emt_911 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Morning all. A dry start to the day for a change which will be welcome by those of us travelling this morning. Nearly time for my excursion to Watford and then Barking. It could be an interesting day. Have a good day everyone 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted June 24, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 24, 2016 Morning I had better go get my US dollars before going into work with Brexit looking highly likely.Mind you the pound has already dropped 3 cents since yesterday The Pound has dropped 7 Aussie cents in the past few hours and seems to be in free-fall. Not entirely unexpected. It will find a new level and may rally once the shock waves have rippled out and calmed some. The positive side is that it makes online shopping from outside the EU extremely attractive at least for the time being. British businesses will benefit to that extent at least. I always retain some currency from one trip to the next. I'm now sitting on a small collection of £18.75 notes 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted June 24, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 24, 2016 Morning all from the Charente. Not a very sunny one for us as various financial plans that we had for the coming years may have been knocked sideways. I'm just glad tat I'm locked into a 2years contract for my Euros at the moment. I better not comment further. Meantime the boss is still asleep so the house is quiet and it's a bit grey outside. I suspect that I will be spending the day loading tree branches into the trailer and doing various other jobs. Regards to all. Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted June 24, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2016 Churchill, presumably a Brexit icon, said something about the best argument against democracy being a 5 minute conversation with the average voter. QED. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted June 24, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2016 We are told the actual disengagement process from Europe takes at least two years. So an awful lot of British jobs will disappear in 2018. Burnaston, Sunderland and Swindon are prime examples of communities that will suffer, as the EU puts up tariffs or quotas to protect Renault, Fiat, VW etc. from Japanese imports made in the UK. Chris F is right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted June 24, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 24, 2016 A sad morning from Estuary-Land. The argument that we have lost our sovereignty to the EU never seemed to ring true, so instead we hand it over to Rupert Murdoch. Up earlier than usual this morning (05:30) and couldn't get back to sleep. Not so bad except that I can't do much as I'm waiting for the meter reader to call 'sometime a.m.' but at least I'll be in for the postman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Donw Posted June 24, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2016 We don't seem to have heard a word from David Cameron. I think he has to blame himself he promised to get meaningful reforms and failed dismally. There may have been no chance of getting reforms but to get some minor tinkering and then present it as a reason to vote stay was not a good idea. I have a lot of sympathy for those who find themselves suddenly at a financial disadvantage. Roundhouse should have bought his dollars yesterday. I wouldn't suggest selling any shares today. However part of the problem is that those who have been disadvantaged have been ignored. Families unable to get on the housing ladder seeing council homes being given to refugees. Areas of high unemployment and low wages seeing EU citizens taking jobs. The government cutting council budgets and giving them more responsibilities causes problems with social services these sort of issues have influenced people in how they voted.
