How are your clients by the way? Particularly the Asians ones. You seem to be working for the only big bank not affected by Brexit.

You should read posts more carefully rather than just exaggerating all the time.....

If they start jumping off tall buildings en mass you'll be sure to find out.

So when are you going to tell us that you work for the EU? I presume that's why you've dodged the question every time but regularly ask it of others ;)

Do you actually post anything of substance or just go around threads essentially stating '+1' on anything you agree with? :p

No i don't, i don't think more than 10 of my total posts are like that, prove me wrong if your going to post crap like that, plus if it is a great post, what is wrong with saying so?
 
Read an interesting article today about the introduction of credit cards and how women couldn't get them. Even if they earned more than their husband, he had to sign the form because "banks and the big instructions viewed women as a 'greater risk' than men".

Well it's a good job we listened and didn't bring in The Sex Discrimination Act of 1975 on the account bankers told us it was too greater risk letting women have access to credit....Oh wait, we didn't listen and changed the system for the better despite the financial advice.

WTO is not what any of the leaders are saying so that is not going to happen. They are going for market access and full passporting rights which they said was their number 1 priority.

That means agreeing to all the terms the leave campaign fought so vocally against.

All the indications are, you cannot have full access to the single market without

Accepting free movement of people.
Contributing into the EU budget.
Observing EU regulation
Have unilateral agrement over trade deals with the rest of the world.

That being the case, what is the point of leaving the EU.

I know that sounds good in your head but it isnt really even remotely comparable.

Does anyone still have the contributions formula? It'd be interesting to see how it all scales for an economy of our size in the EEA and without the rebate.

Only a small percentage of companies export to the EU but all have to comply.

Well of course they do, because companies that don't 'export to the EU' still sell in the EU - because we are in the EU!

How many of us would want to buy products that don't comply with EU regulations anyway? Almost all of the regulations make things better for either society as a whole or us as consumers.

If you want unregulated tat buy it from China? :D

I got a response to that once: 'I don't like doing my accounts, mate.' /facepalm Who does! But quitting the EU won't free you from double-entry, and other sound means of tracking business activity, or justifying levels of tax for that matter, I'm afraid. Silly stuff.

It's about 75% of our current contribution, if it were on a similar basis to Norway.... Last time I checked.

We've got our sovereignty back though, and the issues that caused the decline of the deindustrialised North have all gone away. Also we've got an answer to the horrendous productivity levels amongst our workforce. So it was all worth it.
