Letters from the dvla or something I think, dunno, can't quite remember the full story now. I've had a reply a few days ago extending the date by which they would give a definitive reply so my interpretation is that the consequences of this is being chewed over. I'm waiting to see what emerges but I truly hate to eat crow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be an age before this dwindling minority out-shout themselves. Unable to move on, stultified in defeat and gasping astonishment that the plebs won the day. Again.

One thing that struck me about the referendum results was the almost predictability of the centres of voters who wanted to remain imprisoned by the corrupt undemocratic European Commission compared with those choosing to regain independence and the demographic make up of those demanding freedom. Having ruled out the Scots (who don't really matter anyway) it was places like Luton and London and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to know whether the select were gifted with brilliant prescience or were simply the ones predicting disaster at the time and got lucky. There are always a few predicting disaster at any given moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smugness personified. I'll take that as a compliment from the forum smug-meister. And the argument wasn't lost, just got shouted down by the louder (mostly) uninformed party.
