    I was in southern Spain near Malaga very recently. On a coach trip heard how they got major highway in the region largely funded by the EU, more than we ever got out of it.

      I know it very well. AP7 - Malaga - Marbella - Estapona.

      What really pisses me off is that the tolls double during Easter and the summer holidays. Unless you have a VIA-T Toll bleeper, which can only be issued to a resident by a Spanish bank.

      We ******* paid for it!!!

        We cannot vote NO. We cannot vote YES.

        It's not a YES/NO question:


        "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?

        Remain a member of the European Union
        Leave the European Union
        "

          Utter toss, of course, but good for a smile.

            Eastern European nations are creating their own voting blocs within the Union that gives them influence they would not otherwise have. This has led to Poland having an astronomical amount of EU funding to build roads, rail networks and infrastructure that puts our Victorian rubble to shame (one guess who pays for it).

              Again it the UK government's fault, past and present.

              We have crap because our government likes paying France, Germany etc to run our infrastructure. It doesn't help that UK civil servants are not known for their contract negotiation skills.

                You're also paying out for bailing out Greece and the settling of gazillions of refugees.

                  I think the rest of the EU should be allowed to have a vote on the UK.

                  They'd kick them out.

                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
