[Merged]Brexit stuff (part 2)

[Old Greg]

I'm crushed. A rebuke from a wishy-washy Liberal. Like being savaged by a cuddly toy.

It would take some heavy duty industrial equipment to crush your bulk.

[GB9]

F***wit.

You're not really cut out for vitriol and abuse, are you?

Succinct is good when it's accurate.

[scooterscot]

The casual observer might wonder just why the likes of you and scooter have become so animated on the whole issue of Brexit. After all, you have both long since scarpered abroad, presumably in some vain attempt to "better yourselves".

First degree in engineering before studying a masters in statistics / stochastic processes. Afterwards, in Scotland at least, there was no job for me in my chosen field of study. And those that were available was offering a pittance of a salary combined with a cost of living that made no sense.

An engineering firm in Germany contacted me offering an opportunity in my chosen field of study. Not because it was a requirement but because they wanted to know about their product.

So yeah, excuse me for wanting to 'better myself' in my chosen field rather than submit to the rat-race with the belief I'll be given some reward in the winter of my life upon retirement.

So couldn't get a job in the UK. Just as we thought.

As soon as those foreigners have gone home, you can move in on one of those seasonal veg picking jobs.

That's not what I said. I said economics of it made no sense. I had work but then a house was going to cost 9 times my annual income. In what universe does that make sense, not one I've living in.

I'm afraid I can only dream of such a job guvnor. I knows me place mucking out them 'osses.

Seems to make sense to several million people in London though.
