Hahahaha! Poor old Burneside is offended by the word “gammon”! Does that make you a, wait for it, “snowflake”? Gammon isn’t a race, it’s a lifestyle choice driven by warm ale... I guess you’ll also be stockpiling adequate supplies of cans of Bitter.
What racist term? What are you stockpiling adequate supplies of Burneside - tins of bully beef?
It’s the vegans I feel sorry for though. What will they do once everyone else has had to become cannibals? Just sit there watching us chew our way through the gammons?
At least we won’t run out of black pudding...
I’m also excited to see how they use plant based materials, or materials harvested from recently deceased pensioners, to make the new blue passports edible in the wake of inevitable food shortages. I'm sure it'll be very innovative!
I like this thread! Instead of focusing on the downside of Brexit, let’s focus on the exciting possibilities: living in an abandoned motorway services; coming up with a tasty recipe for fox; marrying a 3D-printed rifle; trading sexual favours for insulin, and vice versa - none of it will be dull!
@Lynne , you’re not thick, so i don’t understand why the concept is so difficult for people to understand. no one here has said that the number of votes was overwhelming, just that the number of votes in favour compared to the number of votes against led to an overwhelming majority. @burneside , which side am i on? i’m on the side that says that all votes should be decided by a simple ...
Again, failing to “get it”.

You seem to be suggesting that no votes of any kind should be judged binding unless more than a certain percentage of the electorate ...
@Lynne Councillor Foden’s petition to “Save The Lawn”, from which you pasted the above text, attracted a magnificent total of 443 signatures. What percentage is that, based upon the towns population? Exactly...
When analysing the results of a vote, you can only include any percentages in that analysis that are based on the votes actually cast! And of the votes cast, yes the result was overwhelming! I don’t understand why people find this so difficult to comprehend. It was certainly far more overwhelming than another recent referendum, but of course that was different and we need to “get over it”... ...
