I agree Jimbo. With the Italian constitution change vote on Sunday, their banks in meltdown there are more pressing problems in Europe at the moment than Brexit. All of which of course will affect the euro.

Are you a glass half full type Jimbo

In the words of Shania Twain I've gone and done it. I've booked and paid the deposit for next year's holiday at the Fedra Mare. I know it costs more but that's life. Things are what they are. I can't forego 2 weeks in the sun with great food and being amongst friends on holiday, marvellous.

"Our elected representatives" Jimbo had their say when they voted for the referendum in the first place. Over 500 voted in favour.

It seems to me that people only like democracy when it goes their way.

I normally do a review but didn't this year as I only tend to report that we had a good time however in the spirit of friendship here's mine.
Everything was very good except for the bin situation which the locals had solved by taking the rubbish themselves to a local football pitch. Can you imagine that here there'd be rioting in the streets.
One thing I must tell you though is that exactly halfway through our fortnight and settling down for breakfast at Fedra my two sons appeared with beach towels and a cheery hello. we were gobsmacked. The eldest was supposed to be in work as he had no annual leave left the youngest was waiting for his A levels and looking for work.
Well my wife burst into tears and I checked how many euros we had - they ain't cheap our two.
What a surprise.
Anyway a great second week was had by all.

And many of us who disagree can happily have a drink and a hug in SS, and do.

But, it's a serious issue. It has world-wide implications. It's not normally the British way to run away and hide, but that's what the vote means, it seems to me.

Actual Brexit is retreating over the distant horizon as the government postpones the issue. The jury is still out on whether the Scottish parliament can veto the exit. This was a "non-binding" referendum, and if parliament decides that it's against the best interests of the UK it won't happen. Meanwhile, let's enjoy the rubbish exchange rate!

I have to say Jimbo that's brilliant - conciliatory while fanning the flames - running away and hiding indeed. Unbelievable.
Thank goodness our fantastic Olympians aren't plagued with negative thoughts. Their can do attitude is a great example of what the people of this country can do when they put their minds to it. Go GB in everything.

It's true you didn't start it Jumbo but you're doing a good job of keeping it going. 43 days had elapsed from the last post to yours on the 12th.
