Off Topic OLOF's political thread

"him and 20/20" - who are you talking about here? I thought it was 20/20 - or are there two of them?

 

I’m not sure if this undermines my Remainer credentials but now only buy English butter, helped daughter buy British made car recently and will switch mine and wife’s when we change ours, I’ve identified what we’ll switch to. I have a feeling it’s going to be a rocky ride if we leave so the German car makers will have to look after themselves.

 

Only one of me

And 2020

 

2 of them,just sharing the same brain cell.

 

Good man very pleased to hear it, keep up the good work.

 

Oh so you're the one who bought it.........

Sorry 2P - this is where we diverge on something. Well I have a X5 and my wife drives a C Class Merc. No plans to switch at the mo, and TBH, couldn't give FF where they're made.

May all sound a bit unpatriotic, but If you want the best you have to pay for it - maybe a bit more in the future but WTF - life goes on.

 

Spoken like a true Liberal Democrat

 

No probs Sparky. I would too if I could afford.
P.S. Any idea what a British car is these days.

 

Ask 20/20..........

 

I'm actually an agnostic.

You sound like a globalist to me. One of George Soros’s own.

 

Well he hasn't done too badly for himself.

 

I’m going to have to tell the Eastern European girls in Holbeck it’s a no from me after 29 March, too

 

I'll send you a couple of sheep.

 

That was the nub of my question British manufacturers

 

Now I know we’re mates

 

If you mean British owned there’s a few on th link I gave but they are niche players like Morgan. But the cars listed are made supporting British jobs. Seriously we are going to be ****ed if hard Brexit happens so we need to support British jobs.

 

Speak later it’s footie time
