    Well, everyone should be allowed to change their minds once the awful truth dawns/emerges  :/

    Does that mean I could have disowned my kids once they became teenagers......?

    Very tempting @steveTu ... but difficult to return to the  status quo ante 🤯

    I've ordered yet more bulbs, got more free tulips and a 70 cm Euronymus Europea for £1.99 - my mum used to have one in our garden, so it was a bit of a sentimental whim.

    Confuddled brain at the thought of trying to put the teenagers back where they came from. 😉

    LOL momen there.  There's a chap on TV doing a launch for what I assume is the Clwyd lot saying he wants Wales to stand up for itself, have freer powers and funding and then, wehn fully independent, they can apply to join the EU.  Didn't they vote heavily to leave?   Got to laugh.

    And the sun is shining too.
    A fully independant Wales would be a fully bankrupt Wales.  They have next to nothing in the way of industry and have massive subsidies from the EU.  They would be changing a situation of being 1 of 4 countries in a union, and therefore having some limited say in what happens, to being 1 of about 30 countries (a tiny one at that) who would have no control whatsoever over the laws being dumped on them.  Never seen independance looking so good!

    @KT53 The English have been paying for Wales since it was first invaded and conquered and then needed all thos huge expensive castles to control them.  I can understand that they might not like that situation even tho they now benefit from huge subsidies to keep their industry, agriculture and health service going.

    Many regions of England also benefit from huge EU subsidies for rojects which the London centric British parliament is unlikely to maintain, even if it can afford it.
