Everything, Everything

[Just-Jude]

No more cities of culture.
No more Eurovision song contest.
No more European football, rugby and tennis.
No more sun drenched beaches.
No more French wine and cheeses.
No more Danish bacon.
No more German cars.

What have we gone and done?

jno, My Uncle had Reliant Robins for decades as he only had a motorbike licence , you can drive a Reliant Robin on a motorbike licence.
Now he can't get one. However he has found you can drive a French microcar on a motorbike licence so he has got one of those. In France you only need to be 15 to drive a microcar. they have a one horsepower engine ,yes 1 horsepower, even slower than a Reliant Robin.

[EDDIE51]

jno, your link is to just a Reliant Robin door with no paint ,handles or windows , a bare door no car.

What an absolute waste of space.

[Jahulaye]

Lol, I though £50 was cheap for a collectors car

[Just-Jude]

jno, I must have got my wines mixed up. I'm not a buff, usually mix mine with white cider for an extra kick.

[jno]

no French cars after Brexit. We'll all have to have British ones - I understand the only British-owned manufacturers left are Caterham, Morgan and McLaren.

But I suppose it'll be okay to do up old Hillman Minxes and Bullnose Morrises.

I said the Robin wasn't in mint condition, Eddie.

[tonyav]

LOL, wouldn't be Sunday without JJ's Sunday funnies.

[Jahulaye]

Wow, that was an interesting read about that small French car balddic

[Baldric]

jno, you misrepresented it as usual.

[Just-Jude]

Nicola Sturgeon has said that England will be on its own when they leave the EU and not to expect any help from Scotland.

[EDDIE51]

^ you need a mint to buy one now, just looked on Autotrader only 2 available a 1996 model at £6500 and one for parts or restoration at £4000 .

[Jahulaye]

Well looks like Del boy was right when he told Rodders “ This time next year, we’ll be millionaires” yes from our Reliant Robbins sale! Lol

[EDDIE51]

Baldric , Yes that's what my Uncle has got. In France people who have lost their licence due to drink driving are getting them as you don't need a licence. The age to drive them is 14 not 15 as I thought.
They are limited to 30 mph, in France at least. They cost around £4000 in the UK.

What about Toffiffee?

If there's no more Toffiffee I want another referendum.

In Selby (Z-M will know, he lives near there) there is a garage specialising in Reliant Robins. I'm sure they have a few left.

EDDIE - the little French cars are called 'sans-permis' and you can get one even if you have had your licence revoked for drunk-driving! They are dreadful for clogging-up the roads. They cost a lot of money, at least 8-9K euros. Drove us potty - so that's how it happened! I believe they are even dearer over here.

T.b.h. they did have a function. It can be 10k or even more to a shop in rural France and elderly widows need some way to move around if their husbands died.

// No more Eurovision song contest. //
We can still particpate in ESC. Turkey, Isreal and Morrocco can, so can we.

//No more European football, rugby and tennis. //
Turkey, Isreal, Azerbaja.... zzzz

// No more sun drenched beaches. //
We can still go to Spain, France, Portugal....

// No more French wine and cheeses. //
The might be dearer, but their will still be a demand, so will be available.

//No more Danish bacon. //
As above.

// No more German cars. //
Absolute numpty nonsense.

// What have we gone and done? //
We have voted to leave the EU and none of the above will change.

"I don't like New World wines they have that trampled feet aroma."

Trampled feet have the aroma of cloying blood and eventually decay and decomposition, possibly with a side of gangrene.
You just know it'll pack a punch. :-)

I used to work for a UK company that had a subsidiary in Denmark.
Every time the Danish rep came over to the UK he came by ferry in his Volvo estate.He used to fill the car to the roof with Danish butter and Danish bacon from the cash and carry. When he got home the profit from selling Danish food back to the Danes made him a large profit on his trips.

Absolutely scandinavianalous, Eddie.
