A difference of nearly $20K when you compare it to the exchange rate when we put the house on the market initially. But it is what it is, my sister was all concerned about it but you take risks when you convert currency. I always said as long as it stayed above $1.30, I'd be happy enough.
On the upside we have no credit card debt anymore :D |

We're well ahead, plus I got to buy some new gear as well. All's well that ends well. It does feel (no offence to my dad and sister et al) though that that was the final act as far as my ties to the UK goes. Even though I never lived in it, and now my sister owns it, the house was sort of the only physical connection I felt I had. It's going to be weird when we go back there next year, I thinl. |

We'll see how that pans out when it comes to retaining access to the single market, shall we? |

Well let's face it, with their catastrophic record of late, the EU is in desperate need of some positive publicity, so if they need to do it by riding on the back of UK success, then best of luck to them. :cool: |

I realise that you're finding any excuse to justify your anti-EU stance, but as the UK is still currently a member of the EU, why the hell wouldn't the EU include Team GB's totals in with the EU's totals?

Oh, come on - that has to be satire, right? Just one that slipped through onto the main website.

It's the same media that sold brexit. Shouldn't be much of a surprise, really. A) Europe is on the brink of a nuclear war with Russia and B) It would be a good idea to broadcast that they think it to the public I'm genuinely at a loss for words :lol:. |
re: Post EU Referendum
I think what's scarier is the surprisingly large number of people who actually believe the stuff the Sun, Daily Mail, and Daily Express publish. The Sun and Daily Fail are the most read media in Britain. Express comes in 8th.
British newspaper circulation Tell me that's not scary. |

It's a false problem. This was just marketing spin by the Leave campaign's marketing agency to counter the accusations of being anti-immigrant. One of the points of the EU is to give member communities preferential status, in this case on the issue of free movement. The idea is that we all had common goals and could and should function in that way. That's what a community, or bloc, is by definition. If you don't want to be part of that, you don't. If you say that people from any other country should have the same rights to movement among countries and the same entry requirements, you just don't want an economic community. And you voted that way. Fine. But it has nothing to do with injustice.
Why are work visas (which the majority of other countries have --be incompatible with an economic community?) The official leave campaign was making the same point from the outset, unfortunately many are/were influenced by Farage who was not of the official 'leave campaign'. |
