      Probably because only English speaking people use that name for it. The real name is Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte - Black Forest Cherry Cake/Pie/Tart...
      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.

        Well I voted. Gawd knows why.

        If you vote you help validate the whole ridiculous charade.

        If you don't vote then the EU wins anyway. But who can blame anyone for not bothering?

        .......In reality, splitting up 9.7 percent of the vote between a group of dysfunctional political parties, to let them play in an institution that hasn't any real power anyway, is something for which it isn't even worth getting out of bed..

          I voted as well.

          But then again we have local elections as well to see which corrupt/paedo/bigoted councillors will get in.

          I did notice the BNP leaflet that came through my door came very early in the morning......

            Better the leaflet than the candidate.

              probably delivered by a Sikh with the newspapers.
