Well, if we’ve degenerated into politics, I have to state that neither I, nor anyone else voted to join the European Union. What we did vote for was entry into the Common Market, an organisation which would be mutually advantageous to the European states in their dealings with each other.
There was no mention of our being governed by Strazburg or Brussels or of our laws being subject to examination by a foreign and unelected body.
The problem now is that, after all this time, we probably couldn’t afford to come out of the union, which is the precise position that our politicians intended us to be in.
At the moment, I, like many others, am right behind UKIP but how many of us maintain this position when we are told that leaving the Union will cost each of us ten or twenty quid a week remains to be seen.
I’m willing to take a chance on that Casey.As far as I can see all we have got out of the EU is a lot of unwanted legislation,and to many migrants coming into the UK.
Cheer’s Dave.

Well said ROF,but I don’t think we need fear about coming out,sooner the better as far as I’m concerned and I will vote accordingly if given the oppertunity by our lying ■■■■■■■ politicians,I voted to stay out in '75 and nothings changed,only for the worse from what I’ve seen over the years! Vote UKIP from now on,it really is putting the ■■■■■ up the Con/Lab/Libs,Great,give 'em some wellie Nige my son !!! Cheers Bewick. 
Totally agree with both of you- I shall be supporting UKIP, but I can’t really believe we’ll come out after all that’s happened. As for politicians lying, I always thought it was a prerequisite of the job. 
UKIP, would have got my vote too, unfortunately in the local election we just had there was a choice of Labour or Conservative which is one of the same of late

As a biker and a lorry driver I can’t see me being very popular
You would get my vote on both counts, Trev.

Hi ROF, listening to the average punter in the local, bikers and lorry drivers are not that popular but I’ve always wondered why so many lorry drivers had an interest in bikes and vice versa.
Still go on the continent a few times a year on the bike where they seem to have a different outlook to both !

There is a thread on Bully’s Truckstp Bar asking how many have bikes Trev.

Currently staring at an advert for an AJS 350 Lightweight and wondering if a) the state pension will pay for it and b) will the weather give us enough dry days to appreciate it?
more to the point , are you still capable of getting the leg over …the motorbike .
I was looking at a Harley Davison Trike the other day, Very smart indeed It would suit me down to the ground to ride one of these fab. machines, & very easy to get ones leg over I must say, I tempted to go & buy it But the wife dosent agree, & Of course I would have sell my MGB GT, To make room to get in my garage, Regards Larry.
Come now, Larry, don’t start looking at these colonial’s excuses for motorcycles! Maybe herself would be more willing to indulge you if you favoured a proper British machine.
And yes, I can still get the leg over- as long as it’s only a bike.

He could always extend his garage or knock through into one of the rooms in his house.I’m sure his wife won’t mind.

hiya,
Well Larry you could always pretend to change your ways until the deal is done
then go back to being yourself, a bit of skullduggery might just be the way for-
wards, you might have to take it easy on the malts for a day or two so’s your
brain is kept clear you know how the ladies can instantly tell if your trying to
pull the wool over their eyes.
thanks harry long retired.
That’s good advice Harry, But Ive tried that before, & My good ladie is sharper the a Blue Gillette Razor , & I mean bloody sharp, I have to hide the extra bottles of malt the I get when Im out shopping on my own, I may even have to go to plan C, Regards Larry.

bloody hard work even for a sprightly gent like your good self.
