    How much is DNA test these days? I am prepared to chip in for Churchy to find out he is Jewish, at least this way he’ll know why he hates himself so much

      And then he can't be self-employed.

        The trajectory is now for a no deal hard Brexit, so watch the pound sink.

          it's always been a balance, so neither argument outweighs the other, i.e. lower pound means more exports v's higher import costs.

          Hitler built the autobahns in Germany partially to speed up the movement of troops, but paradoxically, because Germany relied on petroleum fuels not readily available on German soil, autobahns were less effective than they might have been later in WW2. On the other hand, the UK relied on steam on the railways for movement, and coal was readily available. So I guess you could say it's better to depend on as many of your natural resources as possible, in order to be successful.

              they did, but this was virtually destroyed by 1944 and so they had to rely more heavily on the road system and use more fuel, which they didn't have, Hence his target of the Caucasus early in the War.

                  Thank God Stalin was prepared to kill tens of millions to stop the Germans!

                    No one here will pay for one to find out how much squirrel DNA you have.
