Don't know, don't care. Is there any evidence that it is an issue for an in-out decision, or that it would change if we withdraw?

I said long ago that this debate won't be settled by dodgy statistics and I stand by that. But if dodgy statistics were really important then yours show that around 60% of the cars made in the UK aren't destined for the EU, and there is zero evidence that if so pull out UK-manufactured cars won't still go to the UK. But there is evidence that they are likely to. Cars will still be made in the UK in similar numbers whether we stay in or out.

Or, alternatively, the real point is that making cars in the UK has got very little to do with membership of the EU or otherwise. Japanese corporations make cars in Britain and German corporations make cars in Africa. The world is a big big place. Open your eyes. There are reasons to stay and reasons to leave. Car manufacturing isn't one of them.

Those British global giants Honda and Nissan amongst others.

Do glaciers explain the existence of absolutely massive reservoirs of fresh water in Africa?

We don't have a motor industry any more. We used to have one, but that was in the days before we were part of the EU.

Help me out here because I'm struggling, but which of your bullets under the LEAVING THE EU heading are facts?

Win-win

No need to do that any more Timmy. As you well know, you can do all your shopping on-line these days. You'll find something to suit every occasion, delivered right to your door. Unfortunately, you'll find some of the stuff you buy on-line is actually fake. But you can just bluff it out and hope that nobody notices.

So a bit of a leap into the dark then, staying in?

Who mentioned Turkey. I'm referring to Serbia. And Croatia. And Macedonia. And Bosnia. Just off the top of my head.

How many Balkan states were EU members during those decades that you remember so fondly? And on a similar vein "Yugoslavia" will have something like 10 times the number of votes on the European Council than Britain in few years. Democracy, eh? If you want REAL democracy then go and slaughter your neighbours and their women and children for a few generations.

Yeah. Coz what we really need to help us decide is dodgy statistics. And the more the better.

New carpets?

Don't forget the £150,000 compensation that was paid to Chesterfield for the best Head Coach outside the Champion's League. That's closing in on half a million total. Every little helps, eh?

I posted this earlier. It's only the C class, but all worldwide RHD C class are built in SA. Have been since before the turn of the century. Same goes for 3series BMWs and now I think VW polos.

Can't argue with that

Seven "don't panic" articles posted by The News in the past hour. Unrest among the owners is becoming a teensy weensy bit of a problem I think. Who is this Lavery that's coming to save them? New owner? Manager?

How could we forget. It's been their motto since 2010.

Hi Bletch, Lest you think we're all ignoring you I thought I would say hello. Unfortunately, to use the well-worn internet excuse "if only I lived closer", and I don't meet your age limits. And I don't like you. But, other than that ......

There is no certainty over the future shape, size, composition or policy of the EU. And that is fact not opinion.

So are we saying do we want a lot of uncertainty over which we have control, or a bit less uncertainty over which we have no control?

What on earth were the police thinking, letting two massive games like this take place in North London at the same time. It will be carnage.

That depends on the fat you fry it in.

I don't think they will. I think over time they will increasingly source in the third world (as they do extensively already). You know that your expensive C-class merc and 3-series BMW were made in Africa don't you?
