Coins are funny aren't they. A while ago I was in Germany, probably 1990-2000-ish, and arrived with a load of coins
[RIGHT]. There was a kiosk and some other English speaker was performing well but unable to change coins. I got what I wanted but suggested anyway "I don't suppose I can change these?" The moustachioed freak behind the counter took one and had a look. Burst out laughing. "Ha! Ha! Ha!" he said, passing my coin over to the other freak who looked at it. "Ho! Ho! Ho!" he said, then more-or-less in union: "International Year Of The Peace!" After the hysterics wore off, my freak enquired "How many have you got?" Happily I was able to change all my coins.
Not everyone will have such good fortune in the Europe. Peace had been an alien concept from The French Revolution to Napoleon to Archduke Ferdinand and the whole joint going off like a tinder-box at regular intervals.
No wonder they laughed. I made a few notes from the first post:
- be torn from every EU law
- and from every EU instrument
- and agency
- no British plane or pilot will be certified or insured
- er.. are there no insurance companies in Britain?
- have their pilot training facilities been smitten with ebola?
- did St Vitus’ Dance break out at Rolls-Royce?
- Haven't they designed and built the odd half-decent aircraft?
- or perhaps I was hallucinating
- bringing cross-Channel traffic to a standstill
- which I'd thought was the whole point, to close down ingress of undesirables
I have no idea why anyone would climb in bed with a European.
