Owned an Allegro, can confirm. They really were like that. The entire dash fell off ours when you opened the glove compartment.

Is it true they have a better drag coefficient when driving in reverse?

So the story goes. I have quite a soft spot for them, despite their awfulness. Especially the Vanden Plas models with the fancy grille.

the underlying theme being, the eu’s to blame and not the british.

in terms of trying to avoid responsibility it makes sense, but ive lost the thread about what brexit leaders still hope to gain since the economic profiteering doesn’t seem to be panning out. just politicians getting to be the biggest fish in the now smaller pond? ( puns on fishing rights and the atlantic would be in there somewhere if i had had enough coffee today )

With a new, more transmittable variant of the virus and supermarkets fast running out of stock because of border closures due to the country now being quarantined wholesale if a deal still falls through because of god damn fishing quotas then the lot of 'em need to be fucking keelhauled immediately. This week i’m already starting to feel the most anxious i’ve been since this god forsaken year started.

Amazing, since the UK has always been so kind to the Irish, going back hundreds of years. Especially the Cromwell guy… /s

“This is particularly important for Dublin, because many items produced in the Republic of Ireland are shipped from Northern Ireland.”

More to the point many goods cross the border multiple times during manufacture. Pharmaceuticals for example. Larne is a nice handy trip up the road from Dublin but it’s not a great place to ship to the continent from: it goes to Scotland.

ETA and much of NI’s exports, particularly time sensitive food travel to Britain and Europe through Ireland. NI cows for example, despite being owned by people who insist they are British and where they were born is British, are Irish.

And it’s official. Barnier and Von Der Leyen have just had a press conference.

Level playing field (the important issue) longer transition period on fishing than England had been contemplating before.

They were complaining about the draft being 2,000 pages long and being expected to approve it this week. Kind of puts the 5,000 page bill Congress had to approve into perspective.

It’s only fish though so it’s not actually that important.
