Moaning Leavers, an explanation

Some of these people perhaps did not think about their children and grandchildren, some believed lies (like the lie on the bus) and some are dead,

When "the deal" is agreed and its implications explained, we should all be able to chose whether to accept it or remain in the EU.

that's right Varian over 17 million people don't care about their children or grandchildren...….please! get a grip.

Sing along if you have no children or grandchildren or don't care about the ones you have.

dystopian future! call the Terminator.

all sing.... 'ere we go, 'ere we go 'ere we go!

If the nightmare that is brexit should actually happen none of the advertised benefits of leaving the EU will materialise.

Leavers will experience total victory in the political battle over EU membership, but without equivalent advances in the culture war. May’s deal will not accelerate reconciliation between a younger, liberal generation that feels its future has just been vandalised by its angry elders.

Is this the dystopian future we want for our children and grandchildren?

It is definitely a Shire!

You’ve got to be careful near a Shire. Jalima, you could end up in Middle Earth England with Frodo & Sam?

Well, we dumped some of Gloucestershire in the bin today, sat nav had us going round in flippin circles.

Posters note, No Devonshires were hurt during the course of these posts?

as for Swindon, that's practically in Kent.

Therefore I believe there are two terminologies used for the area to the west of a line from Gloucester to Weymouth, one being "The West Country" with the other being "The Southwest Region"

Perhaps us from Devon only believe Devon and Cornwall to be the true South-West. All them others is West Country.

Bath is nearly London imo.

Thank you twanun bad.
I have has a lot of practice since birth?

Really good one Bridgeit

Course that be only till us leave that EU thingy,

Grandad, longs us all know where us be when we get ome in doors us ull be aw reet.

Apologies, that should read "north of Bristol" above.

Bridgeit, I think this is one of those enjoyable ambling debates that everyone likes putting their six penneth into.

My personal take as someone born in Devon, raised in Bristol and since then has spent the last forty years living in North Somerset, I feel the terminology used by locals is somewhat different to those living outside the region in making named reference to the area.

Persons such as myself in the main have always referred to the area to the west of Gloucester as "the West Country" as that is where the Severn estuary begins splitting the west of England peninsula away from South Wales.

However, as I stated earlier, many holidaymakers travelling down the M5 and M4 motorways begin to believe they are in the "Southwest" as they pass over the M5 Avon Bridge South of Bristol and see the Severn estuary from there and also from the following "split level" section of the motorway. From that section on a clear day you can see Exmoor in the distance especially if they are sat in one of our famous M5 traffic jams.

Therefore I believe there are two terminologies used for the area to the west of a line from Gloucester to Weymouth, one being "The West Country" with the other being "The Southwest Region".

I prefer the West Country, but if you are one of the ever growing numbers of holidaymakers down here, you pays your money and you takes your choice.

Not sure how clear this is

A friend who used to drive from London back to her home in Cornwall said she felt she was back in the South West when she passed Stonehenge.
