I noticed Charles around earlier, might be a good time to discuss the boy Owen

and sold our entire gold reserves for tuppence.....

As opposed to Thatcher who sold our public utilities to her friends for even less.

Brown's decision, while controversial, was credited with keeping interest rates at historic lows for a fair while. Until the **** hit the fan, obviously

Blair's governments saw significant and sustained economic growth alongside massive increases in funding for education and the NHS.

Nothing to do with socialism. Just guys who knew what they were doing.

I'd give Blair and Brown credit for the economic growth but the decision to 'rub the right's nose in diversity' did irreparable damage to this country. Brexit, a disgruntled hoi polloi and a simmering Islamist problem are just three of their glorious legacies.

My Seamaster is fecked, looking at ?900 to fix. Ironically, got damaged in the sea

Blimey. I'm pretty sure I paid about ?900 for mine. Back in the day.

?600 for the mechanism/service & ?300 for a new face as the sea water has corroded it. I think mine was ?2,400 12 years ago.

The decision not to cap the numbers of arrivals from the new EU member states was a catastrophic error, almost as damaging as Iraq. And based on equally inaccurate intelligence.

Quite. Possibly resulting in us enjoying the fun times which will ensue when we have elected Prime Minister Farage

He?s adopting the same strategy as Starmer in opposition. Do nothing, sit back and watch them implode.

Wasn?t he proposing to lower the voting age to 16 recently. I suppose we should be grateful that he?s not capping it at 65.

Really? Pic?

I'm thinking of selling some of mine. They mainly just sit in a cupboard costing insurance premium.

I'll keep the essentials of course: Omega Seamaster, Breitling Navitimer and Tag Monaco.

I'm no expert, just found the thing rather sudden, is all. More Liberace than libero.
