I hope so petra that’s such a good point. I’m sure a lot of horse trading is going on behind the scenes right now.

Don't feel guilty, we have 2 German cars.

I think the ERG will 'help' her out with the withdrawal bill on the understanding that she steps down and replaced with a leaver. not a remainer

More good news!

‘Cabinet ministers will make it clear they believe Theresa May should step down after the local elections in May and allow a new leader to deliver the next phase of the Brexit negotiations, the Guardian understands.

Senior figures in government have suggested they want the prime minister to leave shortly after the first phase of the Brexit negotiations finishes – Brexiters in the cabinet are keen to see a new leader take over for the next stage of the negotiations with the EU, which May has already pledged will involve more active involvement for politicians rather than advisers.’

Thanks for sharing that petra just goes to show eh?
Ooh GG13 you divil! ❌ ?

I am feeling guilty for having a test drive in a “sporty German car” on Monday, but what the heck you only have one life!! We shall survive ????

Urmstongra
what do you say Did you really need to ask?
so I can shoot you down in flames same thinking here
That's why I never answer.

I've been reading about the eu/ USA trade deal.
Trump has threatened huge tariffs on German cars if the eu doesn't re-open trade talks. If it comes to tariffs it will cost VW alone more than $2 billion a year.

Honestly ladies, I think it’s time for a ‘good news about the situation’ forum!
Only Leavers can post ??. (Yes I know ... we can’t dictate who posts)
But there is good news out there so let’s gather it and share it!
I’ve had enough of gloom and doom and:
‘can you back that up with a link please’ and
‘oh, let’s not let facts get in the way’ or
‘I’m just curious.... can anybody tell me why this (or that)’
(*so I can shoot you all down in flames* ) ? ?

Time ladies for us moderate believers that all will be well (sorry remainers!) to have our forum to spread GOOD NEWS for a change! C’mon, I know there are a good few of us - what do you say?

Yes, or thick, or simple or any other words flung at Leavers.

That's because they think we are illiterate.

There are those on tv programmes constantly saying how bad the economy is doing......No it isn’t!!
We are doing very nicely.

The European medicine agency has lost a legal battle in which it claimed that it ought to be able to get out of a £500 million rent bill for its London headquarters because of Brexit.
A high court judge thought differently
Time to pay up I think.

Hooray! Good news! Thanks Urmstongran.
I am fed up with the scaremongerers.

Ouch! Sorry for youFennel but thank you so much for your contribution. Every little helps!

So many people are quick to scaremonger/projectfear/prophesy Armageddon it will be a nice change this Spring to share the good news.

A tiny bit of it was from me - they had forgotten to tax me for about 15 years, and took it all back monthly last year. .
HMRC told to pull their socks up.

No worries Day6 ? Although a Virgo I can be quite relaxed about some things hehe!

More great news GG13
It would be a nice change for us to post ‘good news’ on here to counterbalance the doom merchants!

Citigroup are apparently buying their Canary Wharf headquarters for 1.4 billion apparently, they do not seem to be wobbling.

Morgan cars profits are up over 60% with a full order book.

It’s fantastic news isn’t it?

(Sorry about the extra e in your name Urmstongran.)

BTW it demonstrates how doom mongering experts (OBR) got it wrong. Again.

Doesn't it just Urmstonegran!

It does give us hope for the future and I like your thought that it will ease us in to our new era out of the EU. Employment is at record high levels as well.

The doom mongers are still out in force though, almost willing the UK to fall into the abyss they have created. They would rather be proved right and see the UK suffer than support a UK out of the EU.

Thank you for sharing the good news.

I meant to add that South Africa is waiting to do a trade deal.

Urmstongran
When I posted on here some months ago that a friend in the city had told us that the money is pouring in the usual suspects pooh poohed that statement.
I'm sure that there's a few eu countries ( not states) that would love to be in this position.
Good on you Teetime

??????

Some good news at last and the sun is shining - I'm quite hopeful for the future. Going into the kitchen now to enjoy one of the South African peaches I just bought in Sainsbury.
