Look, just eat your greens. You know it did a power of good for Garry's avatar.

When Greece, Italy and Ireland go belly up and drag us all down the pan with them, we will be glad of the paperwork to burn to keep us warm. Then you can start into the renewable energy regulations, they should keep us warm until the recession is over.

You don't need to.Certain countries are going t!ts up despite what the so called European leaders say.Those politicians are only interested in saving their faces ,careers and political ideology.The worst offending countries have borrowed way beyond their ability to repay and spent like there is no tomorrow and now the gravy train has derailed.Tough Sh!t,just don't drag us down with you.

Everything they do seems to add massive costs to the simplest things.

To think that when we joined it was called the 'Common Market' now it is nothing short of an EU 'Gravy Train' for those overpaid over expensed MPs' - enough said!!
