    And people mock trainspotters for what they choose to do in their spare time.

    Doesn't stop the trainspotters from enjoying what they do. Nor are we going to stop triathlon from enjoying his trollspotting.

    Are trainspotters still derided? Trainspotting is a prototype form of geocaching, and geocaching is terribly fashionable.

    In both cases you seek out an item of no practical use to you (the cache / train) simply for the joy of travelling to it, either alone or with others, tick it off your list and then leave. It's the journey, not the destination, man.

    The rail system created a tickoffable list of such man-made objects that could be reliably found at a certain place and time in the days before GPS was widely available.

    Yep, it is the first stage to cancelling Brexit
    Was never going to happen from day one :)


    6 months and we will be out, and all being well it will be without a deal.


    :D

    Perhaps money has come their way? Large sums seem to have been made available for anti-Brexit propaganda. (Won't work and just puts people's backs up even more.)

    Is that like the large sums that got us into this mess in the first place from a few manipulative billionaires?

    Yes, and these Billionaires are the same people who made the UK with it's high quality immigration skills one of the best places in the world to find work. I have seen an attractive bright Polish girl work for far less than a non motivated British girl in a chip shop in Oundle and she did it like she was running a top class michelin restaurant.

    I have never had a reason to make one single complaint over all the Polish people I have rented to, respectful, clean and pay on time. I had one who was a few days late with the rent once because his boss was late and they were both so apologetic.
    These silly old Brexiteers want to wake up, the reason they now live in expensive homes and have good quality cheap labour labour is the same people they want to throw out

    @Triathlon: So just so we're clear, Brexit should be reversed so we can continue misallocating highly skilled workers to menial labour in Britain because it pays more than skilled jobs in Poland. While driving the unskilled British workers who should be doing those jobs onto the dole.

    Hate to break this to you, but employment has never been higher.
    Along with that good quality rental has never been higher, food, travel, social life, just about everything in the UK is the best in the world.
    I suppose it is all perspective, yours seems to be very different from mine.
    And thank goodness the most skilled people in the world are wanting to come here for our "low wages"

    Really? A fair few on here (including you?) thought they would remain low "forever" :rotfl: The rate rises have not even started yet, as one of my other long standing predictions comes to pass, the breakup of the EZ, rate rises will get even more scary (depending on your debt load of course)

    No! Not me, if you search my posts you will see that more than once I have said that when they first dropped to 0.5% that I was 'hoping' (not predicting) that they would stay that low for 3 years. The fact that they have stayed low for so long is a massive windfall for many mortgage holders. Not many things last forever, certainly not a particular interest rate percentage.

    UPDATE

    Things are now getting very heated now that a hard or even soft Brexit looks to be dwindling, was always the case. I have managed to get another at least five property crash doom mongers who support a hard Brexit to crash the property market banned, local(I want a home for nothing and BTL punished) hero being my latest. His anti landlord & socialist fairy land where people are just handed money and homes are an insult to decent people who want to hand their hard work onto their to their cherished children and not some council house chav yob with a chip on his shoulder.

    I now have several ID's on the Brexit thread to replace the one that I had banned, just have to be careful now, this is great fun.

    And we care about you trolling on another forum because?


    How do you find so much time from your super successful busy lifestyle to harass people on the internet? Think of all that wasted potential.
