    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.

    Yes I managed to read the article I linked to ;)

    I noted the response of the Brexit department and don't believe they've been completely honest.

    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.

    You must show me where you linked to Bloomberg?

    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. ;)
  • 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".;)

    Oh, now you think you know better than the EU drugs agency as well as DExEU?

    ... the European Medicines Agency (EMA) said ...

    I linked to an Independent article about the Bloomberg FOI request. Have an internet point on me.

    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?

    Can't have both ways. 20% of staff is a lot to lose or it isn't.

    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.

    Ah.
    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. :D

    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. ;)

    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"!
