Are you saying the UK is relying on an email we sent to which the EU didn't reply?
You're right that we don't know how much it's going to cost but I think it's safe to say it's going to be a lot more than £9bn based on what we know already.
It's like we've traded in a Mercedes that's running well and has a fixed price service and repair plan for a knackered old Montego that barely runs even after we've spent a fortune on repairing it and we don't know how much it will cost to fix it properly. Even after that happens it won't be anywhere near as good as the Merc we traded in.
I had Montegos in the 90s. The first one got nicked and written off after I'd only had it a few weeks. Worked out well though in that the insurance gave me the book value which was £600 more than I'd paid. Got another one, an estate this time, that did spend quite some time being repaired. It was a nice car though - had a rear facing seat in the boot that the kids loved sitting in.I used to have a montego. It wasn’t a spot of bother ;)
I get the point you’re making though and it’s fair to say that it’s going to cost a lot. Neither side will ever agree anyway. Leave side will say it only cost the treasury this (hard money paid out) and the remain side will also include lost revenue to the treasury from sales and possibly other loses. I’d probably say the remain number would be a better reflection.
I just hope we can sort issues out quickly and people can get back to earning in those industries most affected.
Aka the Montenogo....I had Montegos in the 90s. The first one got nicked and written off after I'd only had it a few weeks. Worked out well though in that the insurance gave me the book value which was £600 more than I'd paid. Got another one, an estate this time, that did spend quite some time being repaired. It was a nice car though - had a rear facing seat in the boot that the kids loved sitting in.
Back to the analogy though, it's like we didn't want the Merc because the service plan was written in Germany whilst the Montego one was British.
I’m surprised we aren’t back living in caves as I thought the world was going to end after Brexit ;)

Try getting in one it’s full of fishermen, it’s the next property boom caves on beaches.
Had a similar story with a Rover SD1 that I had in the late 80s. Someone drove into the back of me on Cheetham Hill Road. Barely a scratch on mine but the front of his was caved in after impaling itself on the towbar.I had that same 7 seater model in a British racing green. Diesel was powerful enough. Because it was 7 seater it was reinforced at the back mine also had a tow bar . Someone hit Mrs MB up the back side whilst she was driving it. Completely stoved the front of their car (Fiat IIRC), nothing on the Montego. Sure the butt of jokes but they were good workhorse cars!
See it worked out for us in the end ;)
I think I see where you went wrong. You serviced the Montego. Like goldfish they thrive on abuse!!!
Back to the analogy. Maybe we got bored with the same old Merc and the big service costs and we longed for that plucky Montego again who would always get back up after being knocked down.
Very good. But whilst you jest honestly mate when people are investing in Bitcoin anything is possible!!!!
