Strange as it may seem, people did take holidays in mainland Europe before the creation of the Common Market/EU.
I thought NATO was created for that purpose. When we joined the Common Market in 1973, and again when the referendum was held in 1975, all I remember was that trading with Europe seemed to be only topic on the agenda.
Yet another poll shows the Remain camp are failing to convince the public that we should stay in the EU. With only a couple of weeks to go before the referendum this is disastrous news for Cameron, Brexit now seems increasingly likely.

For way too long, Mrs C, users of this forum have had to endure your vile and vicious postings, to the extent that the webmaster has banned you on a number of occasions, but like a fart in a phonebox you continue to linger by registering under numerous different usernames to spread your poison. At one point you even said you were through with this forum, and would never post here again, if only ...
Give it a rest Mrs C, you really are a pathetic old bint.
Ultimately it is the opinion of the taxpayer that matters, they, after all, funded this concert.
Yes, I have read the article and that is why I made the comment. It's all rather vague; who calculated the figures and how exactly do they know £1.7million was spent over the bank holiday weekend, have they asked all the businesses in the area for their trading figures? And what area are they talking about, the whole of Teignbridge and Exeter maybe? And how does that £1.7m figure compare ...
It does seem like that figure has been plucked out of the air.
I actually do not believe your figure, I think you need to do some better research. But even if I did accept that figure, it is still eight billion too much.
You make our EU contributions sound like mere pocket money (£13-£18bn p.a., depending who you believe). But for me it is far more than money, it is the fact that over the years various governments have signed away our sovereignty, and I sincerely hope on June 23rd the people reclaim it. Oh, and I still stand by my opinion of Hawking.
