And I'm not sure where it leaves your post, debating pedantry?

I'd say it was the remoaners that didn't have a grasp of it and if the vote had gone their way we would be in the terrible situation of being sleepwalked into losing all identity or the ability to Govern ourselves. Opinions eh.

1.3m is quite a sizeable number.

If we were to accept the 56% / 44% split at the point of the tragic death of Jo Cox, this would equate to a 4m difference.

I appreciate this calculation is not a perfect one.

+1. I ask most people I meet how they voted, and if they voted remain I ask them why, what do they like about the EU.

You can almost guarantee a priceless expression and some stumbling over words.

You are like a dog with a bone aren't you? Not actually trying to make/discuss a point of the subject matter but just obsessed with "winning and internet argument". How sad.

Oh the great old strategy of trying to shut someone up because you can't articulate your point. You win.

Now back to KitKats.

They interviewed Nestles COO on Bloomberg yesterday and he was commenting on how sales of KitKat were increasing. They might of course have to follow Unilever if their UK sales go south.
Kit Kat: The most popular chocy bar in the whole worldwoohoo

Ate them all over. The chocolate and the taste were the same, but the packaging different. The best wrapper? Japan.

You can't just post that and not elaborate! What makes the Japanese kit kat wrapper better than the classic paper and foil wrapper from 20 yrs ago?

It is a complete cover, Foil and wrapper, with crimped ends and no outline of the fingers. Slightly different red, as I recall. And of course, Japanese script.

I bought a KitKat (classic one) on a Condor flight yesterday. £1.30!

Bloody Germans taking advantage of us leaving the EU I reckon!

People like the known quantities, the status quo. People I know voted remain because life as it was, or is, seemed pretty nice. So why change.

I voted leave because I am interested to see what happens. It was the more exciting option. In the long run I think we will be better off. Nothing to base that on other than a hunch. EU fiscally is a bit of a basket case, but then it seems which western country isn't? We're all in debt to everyone else. Probably always will be.

Also chocolate bars have been getting more expensive over time anyway. Except few people really notice. The prices have crept up, but whilst they have been stable for a while, the sizes have shrunk too... Effectively making the product more expensive per unit mass.

So headline news, Nestle are increasing the price of a kit kat. So fking what.

I turned to my wife and asked her how much is a kit kat, she did not know, so does it matter that the price might increase.

Does anybody give a flying fk, I can't remember the last time I ever had a fking kit kat. Tell the self important Swiss tts to shove their kit kats where the sun don't shine.

What is the difference between a girl from the south and a kit kat? You can only get four fingers in a kit kat.

I used small k's throughout just to diss' their asses.laugh
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Tea cakes, however, are truly the nation's lifeblood. Or should be. That's where we've been going wrong all these years.

It's not do long ago that if a referendum would have been held over capital punishment would have voted in favour of it.

Go back a little further and the feeling was against homosexuality.

In any case, the votes have been cast and flawed or not, we are where we are
It it's 'equally weighted' you will have a broadly equal number of voters who fail to understand the subject and vote the other way too...
No no no no - sidicks - All the people who voted remain were intelligent well educated and took a serious look at the situation and made a considered decision - none of them were in any way shape or form influenced by the predictions from remain side about economic apocalypse - I'm absolutely sure of that biggrin

It the thick and easily led waycists that caused the result to be leave

equally weighted is never gonna fly biggrin
