    EU Elf & Safety laws prevented any such rescue. Tiddles bought it, I'm afraid, but the local kebab house put in a decent offer, so all is not lost...

    Many of them want the troublesome UK out of the EU as much as does the most ardent Brexiter!

    (and yes, I know the UK leaving would supposedly damage the EU somewhat, so arguably they'd be shooting themselves in the foot. But some of them may think it will be worth a bit short term pain to be rid of us.)

    Because HK came with a 150 year lease, starting in 1847, and ending in 1997. You went to a failing comp, didn't you? Don't worry, we won't be (too) judgmental...
