    Whichever the case may be, if the decision turns out to favour leaving it'll certainly feel like the oppressive clouds have lifted .....

    I hardly know anyone who's prepared to declare that they're a 'remainer' around here, but surely we all chew straw and lean on rotten old gates this far from the golden towers of medialand where almost all of the 'experts' are clambering to save their international career potential - thinking about it, perhaps being this far from the EU mainland is why we've had a comparatively reasonable amount of sunshine over the past week, whilst modern Arks are looking to be the preferred method of transport on the other side of the channel ... :cool:;) ... mind though, the EU can't be all that bad ... they part funded the restoration of a stone wall down the road, then ensured that we all knew about it by advertising the fact on a ruddy-great billboard which cost more than the part funding ... must be really satisfying to be the idiot making that kind of decision on public fund expenditure on a daily basis ....

    Me ? - I'm neutral on the issue Messrs Cameron, Corbyn & Clegg sirs .... <tee-hee, what a porkie ... but :shhh: don't let anyone know ;)> ... by the way having just written that, has anyone else realised that a good proportion of senior EU supporting politicians have surnames starting with a C, it must be an EU Council (there's another 'C') conspiracy (and another!) - perhaps they have recently updated their CVs just-in-case Brussels is grateful ..... anyway, if all goes well can we leave on the 4th of July ? ... it's still warm then and we could share our independence celebrations with the Americans in order to maintain some form of austerity ....

    Back to the bottle of jolly-red ... blimey, MrsZ's finished it off whilst I've been rambling! ... Ah well, another empty Australian bottle to keep the UK recycling industry going .... a pretty reasonable South African next in line ....

    Hic <:o>

    ps ... just over 30kWh/kWp in the past week ....:silenced:

    Carefully written, and let's hope we get out of this 'gravy train' before the whole of 'Our Country' turns into a housing estate for immigrants, and open spaces are not to be seen by our Grand Children....:T:T
