I've been musing on the possibility of an EU referendum and subsequent UK withdrawal.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Surely the immediate effects would be the collapse of sterling and consequent export-led boom, a sharp rise in inflation and consequent rise in interest rates, and freedom from forking our billions to French farmers.

I'm trying to work out how this is even a question that needs to be asked.

I'm off to join UKIP.

and we will love our yellow slanty eyed masters

[Snin]

be our new overlords if mr ukip has its way imo.. that or we will be a relevant to international trade as Vanuatu imo

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Neither borrower nor lender b.

And, in turn, people will continue to want to sell us theirs, yes?

Nobody has convincingly explained to me how this situation will change in the event of us leaving the EU.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

a minute? :-( I'd like some warning, if possible.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Snin]

[Classic Jorge]

I'm not sure what the difference is, well apart from the UK has three holes and the Euro won only has two

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

against us. I'm pretty sure that even if we did leave we'd remain within EFTA. If it's still called EFTA.

Minis ? oh..german...reselling china gear with mark up, Amstrads? ? Gin ? few old engineers..some bagless hoovers.. not sure if an economy can really push ahead on this basis tbh

[Classic Jorge]

[Snin]

[redgunamo]

Oh, you mean Wenger. No, He'll be alright.

[Berni]

aerospace industry, our defence industry...I could go on.

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

indeed, admitting that this alleged wrongdoing exists only in some hypothetical future. :thumbup:

Leftie ethics :rolleyes:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Madness.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'm sorry, but what the bloody hell is this?

[Berni]

And he looks a bit cross.

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I don't know how to order such trousers.

[Berni]

Don't refer to his bottom, though. Did you ask about the dwarf?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I was gagging for my lunch, actually, and my mind was firmly set on the pulled pork and 8 hour smoked ribs awaiting me.

[Berni]

I mean...'pulled pork' :hehe:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

and it was better than The Big Easy.

Their ribs, on the other hand... quite other-worldly, they were.

[Berni]

Ribs you really do need one of those American barbecuey things, though.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It is far from 'just' slow roast pork shoulder. The dry rub is crucial, and the cooking temperature and time, covered and uncovered vital. And this barbecue sauce, I expect you think it comes from a bottle? :hehe:

Back to amateur corner, son.

I'm with Butthead on this. Presumably pulled pork is a bit like choked chicken.

[Berni]

Sweet, smokey, vinegary and spicy. Wallop.

It's food for Americans. How sophisticated does it need to be? :shrug:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The world has moved on, chum. Have you been snoozing?

[Chief Arrowhead]

He'll definitely buy you a pint down the pub. :nod:

[Berni]

You're such a hipster wannabe.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

quintessentially democratic? For instance, I once saw a large black gentleman pulling apart a whole barbecued pig in North Carolina. He looked quite democratic. Couldn't understand a word he said, mind.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Except for that time I called red a golly :-(

[Berni]

To be fair to him I think he's played the white man about it rather splendidly.
