Following on from George Osborne's reported comment (bags in his freezer) Vince Cable has said Theresa May is like someone handcuffed to a radiator in Beirut.

I can't believe he's dragged that figure up again, it's been totally discredited, even Farage said it was a misleading figure the day after the referendum. This BBC article puts the figure at ?252m after the rebate...http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41289080

You then have to factor in the money that comes back to the UK through grants etc, and what about all the pre & post-Brexit costs for staff, buildings, new IT systems, infrastructure etc that's needed. And he's still banging on about not being in the Single Market but we should have free access to it. What an utter cockwomble...

Hetan Shah, the executive director of the Royal Statistical Society, said: ?It is extremely concerning to see a minister seeking to undermine our independent statistical regulator. The UK is envied around the world for the independence of our statistical system and it is important that politicians are not seen to be compromising it.?


Boris won't back down though.

I can. He's miffed he has so little credibility, and this figure is the centerpiece. Talk in Tory press of him being marginalised etc. He'd like to correct history.

So, the current negotiators look no closer to a deal than at the point we triggered Brexit. And today the Beeb points out why 'no deal' is not really being prepared for either.

So, is Brexit going to be:


a) a disaster

b) a complete disaster, or

c) a complete and utter disaster.

Preparation? Relax - it's only the future of 60 million at stake, it'll be fine. Everyone can just retreat to the country piles and use their rainy day Swiss funds until this all blows over in case it goes awry.

      The actual problem is thieves trespassing on your property and stealing your property. But yes, let’s list the companies we buy from who deliver carelessly and then we can collectively avoid them. I’ll start. John Lewis - has to be signed for Forthglade - has to be signed for Amazon - will leave on doorstep but detailed tracking is available so there is time to ask a neighbour to pick it up, or to be home yourself Ebay - seller specific. You can ask (before you buy/pay) for the item to be posted recorded delivery or with tracking. The things I bought all needed to be signed for.

      Famous politician who is corrupt getting an award from a famous organisation with strong allegations of corruption. What a coincidence.  Then the next day Trump says the NFL should consider a new name that isn't "football". Funny how he came up with that idea so suddenly....

      Not in my bit. It's also people in vans. Though on occasion it is the PO, but not exclusively. It may be based on the size of parcel, or the number. Or possibly whether you're a Prime Customer.

      Many of the goods available on Amazon aren't dispatched from an Amazon facility but direct from the supplier who use their own couriers which can include the post office. This is indicated in the item's information by the 'fulfilled by' information.  Amazon themselves are certainly still delivering in Dulwich. Don't want to jinx it but I'm finding RM tracked deliveries very reliable. Even DPD messed up one of my deliveries this week but all now resolved.
