Shouldn't be a problem, The brexit department lost 20% of their staff in a year and are still managing to do a wondrous job.A_Medium_Size_Jock wrote: »No, rather it's amazing the lengths the not-so-Independent will go to in order to imply what in reality doesn't really exist.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

Your personal beliefs may not inspire the same thoughts in others, given your previously-stated poor grasp of current affairs; at least now you know who Faisal Islam and Beth Rigby are.0 -
A video is enclosed in this link of Zsolt Darvas explaining why the UK - legally -need not pay the EU a "settlement bill" for Brexit.
Zsolt is a Hungarian economist working with the Brussels-based thinktank Breugel.

*Disclaimer*
Yes, it is part of an Express report - but the included video is clear enough.
Had I chosen another source no doubt some would have described it as "obscure".;)0 -

20% of staff gone in 14 months sounds like a lot to me. Mainly gone to other departments. You'd think this natural merry-go-round of staff would mean people came as well as went.
I still don't really know who Mr Islam and Ms Rigby are. Couple of journos preaching to the converted like 95% of other journos would be my guess. Have they enhanced your knowledge or life in some way - sounds like it?This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

Can't have both ways. 20% of staff is a lot to lose or it isn't.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
QUESTION - which of you guys had a background in manufacturing / production?
I am looking at a side line business I can run from my existing business (I have tons of time lol).
Need to know best way to approach the manufacture / supply of quality, durable self-adhesive labels.
Probably start with about 25 differently worded labels.
I initially envisage the labels will be flexible to a degree rather than totally rigid.
3-d printing? Presumably very limited and might not be suitable at all?
Cost is of course relevant. I would not wish to commit to more than a modest order until I see how things go.
Trade mark - I would likely TM the name as the label design wont be unique.
Any thoughts welcome.0 -

Now I understand.
You do not think that the broadest-possible range of reading increases both learning and understanding, or that it may provide an ability to question; my tutors would have been ......... (being polite) ........... apoplectic at the mere suggestion.
Sticking to a few sources only and attempting to opinionate from such a position is what is leading to your erroneous responses.
In plain English: reading more means you might be correct more often which in your case may be beneficial.0 -
"The new risk for Europe - an inward-looking Germany"“Merkel’s room to take conciliatory positions, to play a leadership role and to move Europe forward has narrowed.”
Well there you go!
And with so many of the pro-EU contingent here saying it is us, the UK, that are isolated so-called "little Englanders"!0
