Default Brexit vs DIY

I thought that this wqs a diy forum, not a debating chamber for brexit.
Perhaps those subscribers who wish to exchange viws on brexit might like
to set up a new ng for this purpose

This is ahem UK d-i-y. We are soon to be doing it ourselves ...

Seriously, I see you are using Thunderbird. The K key (kill thread) and
filtering works fairly well.

Using Pan, but just Ignored all the Brexit threads and there isn't
anything left.

See 24housupport.helpdesk to see what happens to a newsgroup becomes a
politics debating one. OK it didn't have a stated use but it certainly
wasn't ENTIRELY US politics/gun control.

To bring things back to normality!

What's the best wood to use for a gallows?

How do you stop ignition interference on analogue TV?

Are sodium chlorate and 2kW vaccum cleaners stocked anywhere yet?


Incidentally it may be a good idea for those that qualify to get an EU
passport from a country staying in the club.

All those nice blue routes through the airports are going to be a
thing of the past for most people.


Also It seems that the British passport contains dodgy chips and if
one fails it seems to be up to the holder to stand the cost.

I'm currently awaiting details of the warranty period and cooling off
time after the order for my passport. It's very devious to inform
people of the likelyhood of problems only after the thing was paid
for.

I am very dissapointed with Her Majesty!

Queen Victoria wouldn't have issued passports containing duff silicon
chips, God Bless Her!!

We'll discuss the merits of wesfarmers rebranding Homebase as
'Bunnings', and *reversing* the planned store closures in due course.

Like the one at Heathrow that says "EU and Swiss"?

Well DIY should become more popular with the decreasing available cash
most people will have as they won't be able to afford trades to do the
work so bunnings will probably grow.

Cue trades bodies trying to make DIY illegal to protect their members.
