After all they dont EVER have a good word to say about us ...and that includes their unionist "SCOTS" who it seems are delighted to tell us that we cant do anything right

I got the figures from this source volver. www.parliament.uk/about/how/elections-and-voting/constituencies/
Maybe the wrong source, but 59 Out of 533 is 11.07% isn’t it, so I was acting in good faith.

There's not 533 seats in Westminster though, there's 650. 59/650 is 9%

This thread seems to be veering off course.

same as I am after having a pre dinner G&T, I recommend it. Can't be bothered with deliberately provocative posts, so I'm out. Fancy a G&T Callistemon21? I am just opening a fresh bottle of tonic and I don't want it to go flat.

I'll join you HPQ. This thread is a bit bonkers... grin

And I've just spent a frustrating hour trying to order some history books at 30% discount from the Yale University Press (which turned out to be Wiley''s) website... 😒

(since this is social media and we are allowed to tell people what we've been doing if we want to...)

Sorry, my mistake. Paddyann54 was still wrong though, as she said
^‘There isn't a cats chance in hell of any of the other nations getting heard when there are 10 times more ENGLISH MP's than the rest of us put together
Perhaps that fact escaped you.’^
- which isn’t true.

Agreed. ✔️

But, but... volver has said in the past that she doesn't mind him at all.

volver Sun 27-Nov-22 14:24:43

I don't mind him personally. Can't abide the monarchy as a concept though. 🤣.

This thread has gone haywire...

Do you mean Ian Blackford?

He's obviously made an impression down south.

(Too sarcastic, Terribull?)

Is he the fat one who enjoys a good rant? I thought he was called Ken Blackmoregrin

Oreo Sun 27-Nov-22 15:21:08

I’ve been down the offy and bought cooking sherry JaneJudge as Baileys is a bit posh for me.

I need to shake a leg and put on a dress and some makeup as we are going out for a late Sunday Lunch, wine will be consumed 🍷

GrannyGravy13 Sun 27-Nov-22 15:39:55

Meant to add its to the local Italian, owned by an Albanian, the waiters are from Madeira and they do a really tasty English Roast.

Barmeyoldbat Sun 27-Nov-22 15:47:09

Just for everyone’s info, my grandson, 22, is cooking the Sunday roast for us. He is practising as he is going to cook the family Christmas dinner this year. I am enjoying a glass of red
