    Just an indicator. What if it keeps going in the negative direction, though?

    What if it’s no longer the “will of the people”?

    What is that supposed to mean? It wasn't Limousin that I saw the house.
    As for 'Talking to the wrong bloke' I am not. You may well have had 5 houses in France but what does that say, you like moving, you bought the wrong one or you cannot settle? I don't know, only you know that. :emoticon-0100-smile
    I bought a holiday home and I am very happy with it. It does the job, is inexpensive to run and now it has Sky I get to see my team lose in France (twice now).

    Sadly I think people can be disrespectful to our country. I sometimes read people knocking this and that about it. For me, it's the best country in the World. I Like Europe but Love England. Good luck to people that live abroad. I have done it twice and can say there is no place like home.
    Old saying "if you cannot make it here, you won't make it anywhere else" (or something like that).

    Well Brexit might still might be the ‘will of the people’ (your words not mine), just not the higher percentage of this opinion poll.....

    I'm just asking if, hypothetically if not in reality (though it probably is), most people were of the opinion Brexit was going terribly and they'd rather not go through with it, should it still happen based on a referendum years earlier?

    I guess it's like what they said about standing on a cliff edge. Do you walk off just because you are stubborn or do you turn and walk away?
    However If something has been done you cant then go back and change a result otherwise I would go back to 1976 and change a result so that QPR could win the league. Ireland had a second referendum but I cannot see the point now. The best we can do is just get on with it and hope that we prosper, which I believe we will do. We lived without the EU before and other countries survive perfectly well without it.

    Well you wouldn’t know if most people changed their mind unless we had another referendum.....so I guess that’s what you are wanting ?

    you are suggesting that I moved because I didn’t settle or brought the wrong one... brought the first three in partnership in the dordogne but partner died
    Having travelled throughout the 4th was in the Languedoc which I loved but sold it during divorce ... current one has own river on land plus 7 beds for the family
    Languedoc most sun in Europe and Med lifestyle it’s thst simple really

    I rant on about the culture differences I experience because of the history above and the frequency of my lifestyle

    Agree not many are equipped to make the change but for me massive comparisons between the two. In the UK I smell debt everywhere and a growing unhappiness
    I get a refreshing feeling in France now because the people are simply nicer

    I love the countryside of the UK but it can’t match the culture, weather and countryside of France.

    Each to their own

    I feel I am exactly correct re the decline of UK culture because it’s money driven and lacks a real sense of community.

    I would encourage anyone to try it for themselves as the quality of life is more important I believe nowadays and anyone can make that happen in any country but it’s very difficult for me to find that in the UK
