Yes- De Gaulle vetoed our entry more than once before 1973, because he thought our farming , economy etc had things that were not compatible with the EEC. I don't know the specifics but I do know there are a quarter of a million French in the capital at the moment- probably because they want to work more than a 35 hour week,or whatever hours the French implemented from the Working Time Directive...although I suppose imposing a restriction on hours would create more jobs...

Ach-gawd have you ever worked or provided services in France


Painfully overly punitive neagative & suspicious


And that's within the EU


NO frakkin hope from outside, and that's one country


Cheers for that, thanks to all those who's only excursions were on a 'booze cruise'


As for business, forget it now

You seem to be ignoring the fact that MEP's are elected. The UK has 73 of them.

Brilliant for parties though, and for our wedding we got 200 bottles of fine stuff for about a third of the cost of buying it in the UK...does anyone know if once we're out of Europe the former import restrictions (which as I recall were about a dozen of wine and a bottle of spirits) will be reimposed? Not the most important issue at the moment I know, but...

Ah - I thought you were replying to my earlier comment, in which case mea culpa!

It's quite astounding to see the fact of just how many UK MEP's we have, wilfully ignored.

Voting to leave, really isn't voting for anything. It's voting against something. That is literally all the disparate bunch of miscreants leading the leave campaign had in common with each other - the fact that they didn't like the EU. Well fine, but that is like travelling in a plane that is uncomfortable and expensive and has a stop off you would prefer not to have to make and so saying "i don't like this", opening the door and jumping out.

It's clear that they all have wildly different (although universally half formed) ideas about what would happen next. It's really not good enough. Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is today berating the government for not having a plan for what would happen post-Brexit. Do none of the Leavers feel that perhaps they should have been thinking about next moves before encouraging us to all jump from that plane?

      Cox's Walk new bridge damaged!

      By Katherty · Posted

      This is such a shame for the bridge.  I wonder if anyone saw it fall, and when it was (at night?) Is the walking path through the woods still accessible?

      New Shops in East Dulwich and Nearby - 2025 Edition

      Free range chickens &/ organic whole chickens are around £15-20 retail these days…  Given their credentials in hospitality etc I’d assume Norbert’s has sourced decent quality chicken, wholesale. The fact they aren’t saying anything about that on the menu or website seems strange…  if it were true it would help justify the price. Chicken & 2 x Chips - would work out £10.50 a head between 4… not bad if it’s decent quality chicken and seasoned well with care & skill

      No mow May

      By Mabaker · Posted

      I have no lawn but still trying to get wild flowers to germinate. After a couple of years sowing seeds I've finally managed to produce some ox eye daisies. Still trying to succeed with cornflowers, vipers bugloss to name but a few. A couple of foxgloves are coming up. Its a gradual process for which we need lots of patience. Don't forget after No Mow May it's Let it Bloom June.
