Good morning Smile

Voting to leave the European Union was a monumental decision, and one that will change the direction of our Country for decades to come.
I see that as an exciting opportunity & something to be welcomed & celebrated.

So, if you see solutions instead of problems, if you see a better future for the citizens of U.K., free from the constraints of an organisation we had no control over, then this place is for you.
Of course not everything is going to run smoothly, maybe not for years, because leaving a union drowning in red tape was never going to be easy, but we are forward thinking progressive people who know the future doesn’t just mean next week.
So, here’s to our new future,
To the future of the U.K. Wine
The countdown begins.........

No idea what vita lite is

FWIW we are a nation of mongrels. The whole of the U.K. has successive waves of immigrants Vikings, Saxons, Romans, Normans, Huguenots, Jews, Irish and many more. The Empire also added to the mix.

The only people who might possibly be 'pure' (and what an offensive term that is) are highland Scotts.

The rest of us mongrels.

Bearbehind · 15/02/2018 21:14

Lol - we actually have something in common faith

Shame it's only 80s chocolate adverts but it's a start! 😂

TheElementsSong · 15/02/2018 21:14

Sadly, I do not know the Shake n Vac song Sad except by reputation.

By way of recompense, can I offer my ability to make excellent roast beef and Yorkshire puddings?

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 15/02/2018 21:18

Sadly I'm not a cook - I could probably recite adverts related to roast beef & Yorkshire puddings though 😧

🐻 😘

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 15/02/2018 21:18

You do the shake and vac and put the freshness back

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 15/02/2018 21:20

TheElementsSong · 15/02/2018 21:20

I do however remember the Beefy and Lamby ads!

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 15/02/2018 21:21

YY to the beefy & lamby ads too!

Adverts are such a thing of the past now - I fast forward everything.

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 15/02/2018 21:23

I liked the magic moments quality stree song

I sing it at work all the time

Unfortunately i only know the 'magic moments ' bit

Bearbehind · 15/02/2018 21:23

It's actually quite scary how many old adverts I remember. A bit like song lyrics too.

Especially given I couldn't tell you the first thing about half my professional exams!

They went in one ear and straight out of the other!

TheElementsSong · 15/02/2018 21:24

Wasn't the Quality Street 'Magic Moments' actually the Perry Como 1950s song?

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 15/02/2018 21:25

Especially given I couldn't tell you the first thing about half my professional exams!

Rosetti, that article by Adam Rutherford was good. The high odds on lots of people probably having a bit of Charlemagne made me laugh. I was reading an article on one of my lines and it did indeed lead back to Charlemagne. But it didn't just end there. Oh, no. Seemingly Charlemagne had his lineage done out to lead back to Jesus. I couldn't stop laughing as I was compelled to read aloud to my husband that I was in fact descended from Jesus ....and thus ultimately God.

And anyone living near a port... . Many a sailor.

time4chocolate · 15/02/2018 21:47

Bear OMG would you Adam and Eve it, we do actually have something in common 😮😉!!

Cailleach1 · 15/02/2018 21:49

Mousse, where do you think the people of the Scottish Highlands and islands came from? They weren't left there by the last ice age.

And we have to even more circumspect. Allegedly, we may not even be pure Homo sapiens as we know it. They have found some traces of other humans like Neanderthal in modern humans. Some think these were distinct species of humans and others think they were a sup species. But they are reckoned to be part of our lineage today.

Cailleach1 · 15/02/2018 21:50

sub species, not sup. I do deserve a sup, though.
