"Thousands of British citizens fear their votes in the EU referendum could have got lost in the post after Germany’s postal service said its workers were confused by the format of pre-paid envelopes sent out to Britons living abroad."
Ze envelopes were not in standard EU format

There isn't an agreed EU format.

Maybe not an EU format but the Germans have a format which is different to the British which can cause some problems for British people here who don't take the time to check up on it, particularly with Christmas and Birthday cards. Square ones or any other shape apart from the standard 90*140 mm will cost more....Originally posted by SueEllen View PostThere isn't an agreed EU format.

if the turn out is under 50% either side will do something dodgy. I was looking at statistics on other EU referendums and governments simply cannot be trusted.Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostI would imagine the majority of these lost postal votes are BREMAIN votes [emoji22]

I agree - there could be a right stitch up. But every vote of the people puts another crack in the EU dam...Originally posted by SueEllen View Postif the turn out is under 50% either side will do something dodgy.

Not true. I've just sent a e-mail to my ERO (Electoral Role Officer) asking they inform me in a week or so if in receipt.Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostYou will never know [emoji22]
