      There is a law in place (an EU one) that states (paraphrased of course), is an immigrant enters another country and fails to find work they can be sent packing.

      So there are adequate laws in place.however, the UK gov doesn’t enforce this.

      Also, its the immigrants from outside Europe the bigots seem to hate the most, they don’t seem to realise they have F-all to do with Brexit, one way or another.

      Last month may announce that any national living here before 2019 cut off date, they can stay.next step is keeping the free movement of people and trade, and the EU laws to protect EU citizens. so well end up in almost the same position bit with no seat at the table.

      Seems like a no-win situation

        Sounds good, actually  sounds brilliant.  but sadly won’t work with my cd slot phone mount.

        I may have a play with this if I like it try and find a mount that will peek out the window. The I could set my dash cam up out the back. Though my stupid car (first one out of last 3) doesn’t have a 12v outlet in the boot! Would make it simple easy.

         

        A slight tangent but related to dash cams. If you find a battery bank that will let you power something while itself is charging, (sort of in line battery) it means you can run you dash cam run 24/7.

        Out off all my battery banks (I have an buying problem) only one is capable of this, so it’s not a common “feature”, but very handy for this.

          I still think it won’t happen. Have done since pre vote, and nothing yet has changed my mind.

          I thing the circus will go on and we will find some scape goat to blame it on. It can’t be the EU though, so it’s down to NI or May herself.

          Probably she will make/orrery  such A bad package, parliament will vote against it. And she will fall on her sword. And the Brexit will fade away.

          I think that’s always been the pan. Few of the actual MPs wanted to leave, and they have been dumped with navigating the leave. I think they are just playing the game, and big payoffs will be given them when they fail. To cover any political face they will have lose.

          This type of mess, is why I wanted the scotch ref to go through. I just wanted to see how the establishment would worm out of it. I didn’t get my Scottish circus. But got a second chance with this.

          I voted stay, but secretary wanted to see a leave win, just to see how they fail and spin it.

            I heard the other day that the essential phone can be had for £399 now. Defo worth a look.

                  Just drove he from the game, and the snow had started and was getting heavier the closer i got to home. But as usual once I got over the hill, on our side (sea facing) we had non.

                  Promised my youngest I’d take her and a friend to find real snow at the weekend. So a trip into snowdonia beckons. Though I forgot at the time that I’m having an op on Friday at the local hospital to have all my 4 wisdom teeth out. So I ain’t gonna be a happy dad on Saturday.  I’ll just sit with my head in the snow.

                    I never knew wifi calling was a hit of miss thing. I’ve always got unlocked phones and my last 3 have been able to use it. All Google phones unlocked, not ee phones, but with ee sim.

                    However the wife’s hauwei P9 also unlocked, but with an ee sim doesn’t do wifi calling.

                    We get a decent signal in out house, but the majority of the village is in a block spot. Locally we have 6 pubs (well 3 pubs, health spa, gym, and masonic Lodge, all with free WiFi, so it’s hard for me not to be connected to a WiFi network when out in the village.

                    Add to that the friends wifis etc. It’s now all good.

                        Sounds quite decent actually. I have some military tactical knowledge, a maths based degree, quants/stats based, and love a good war game.

                        Though the money isnt great, and its location is far. Plus only 2 rolls avalible. Also i couldn’t think a of anything worse than a role working against/alongside high level civil servents and higher ranking know it all officers.

                        Also it probably  sounds way better than it actually is.

                          https://photos.app.goo.gl/C7eBrxOvmukXwe3k1

                          That’s got over 80k views. People like 360 views.

                           

                          Amazingly this photo of my lad eating pizza, in this tiny village 20moms outside of Madrid has 20k views.

                          Yes we over ordered. They didn’t speak a work of English, no matter how slow and loud I shouted, he just refused to understand me. Bloody foreigners ?

                            I share photos on Google and my view count is mental. I just checked and I’m upto 646,000 (just over). I have one 360 one that’s done well, and the other big ones are from a water park in Spain. They got a shit load of views this summer. You can tell they must pop up when people search for the place while on thier hols.

                            Yes, I just Google’s ‘flamingo land aqua Park Torrevieja’ and the kids and me seem to be in a good few. Great Park if your ever close.

                                  I think it was Dave that gave me a link to that guy.

                                  Tbh I still like 2003 and 2008(iirc) better. The ribbon never bothered me. I can only imagine how much the “ribbon out” people feel about the latest mess of office.

                                    D-dan, it’s all the chemicals on the air keeping it away. I spent the weekend in Widnes, and apart from a couple of flurries, they had little also.

                                    Bob- just give her a set of plyers, she’ll be fine.

                                      I don’t speed so I don’t have that issue ?

                                      Well, truth be told, no matter how much Clarkson banged on about the orthodox Wales traffic police etc… We have 2 cameras that i can think of Rhyl front and Towyn front. Both placed to catch tourists. Other than that that we just don’t have them.

                                      The speed vans only sits in 3 spots too. It’s not like memorise this stuff, as like I said I don’t speed.

                                      Sunday night bad weather loads of snow, no one on the motorway and it was fully gritted, never got home so fast. Sadly the last few miles off the motorway wasn’t so quick. Council don’t salt County lanes. Have a torquie car, I had to be real genital with it. Especially as it’s an auto, and evey mow and then it would drop a gear, thinking It needed to, and the wheels would slide sidewards. Ended up putting it im manual mode and locking it in a higher gear.

                                      It’s rare I actully listen to TS on my phone. It’s just when in the car I’ll put the radio on. We don’t own a radio in the house.

                                        Vlapetro_3 I bought one off on the 14 of October for £3.49, and I using it now. He has very good feedback, 2000+ and a red star, whatever that means.

                                        Took me ten mins to scroll through my Gmail ebay purchase to find that out.  I have spending issues.

                                          I have the TS app ony phone, but rarely use it, preferring tune in radio app.

                                          If I got to the TS website and hit check if I can get TS in my area via dab it comes back as no. I can assure them I can lol.

                                          Still not heard back from then re the music question.

                                            I had a Google before, however it’s a hard one to pick the right terms so got nowhere. So I emailed TS via thier contact page.

                                            Though I’m not expecting much, as I didnt even get a conformation email, which you usually get when you contact via these type of systems.

                                            You know the “thanks for your enquiry, well aim to get back to you with 48hours” etc…
