Excellent - I love going out for dinner, so two nights suits me much better ! |
what happens if the catered chalet dont cook food you like?
Thats why we could never do catered. Fussy eaters. Someone dont eat spicy food, once only eats chicken, one dont each fish, another has a nut allergy, etc. |
Well, indeed - however post Brexit people may have to learn to be less fussy

Since you don't work in a 'UK' chalet and have never stayed in one, you have no idea do you.

You probably need to have a chat with TUI a German company to find out why they run their chalets in such a way.

More ill informed rubbish from the village idiot.........
the fact is
UK Manufacturing Statistics
Manufacturing contributes £6.7 trillion to the global economy. Contrary to widespread perceptions, UK manufacturing is thriving, with the UK currently the world’s eighth largest industrial nation. If current growth trends continue, the UK will break into the top five by 2021. In the UK, manufacturing makes up 11% of GVA, 44% of total UK exports, 70% of business R&D, and directly employs 2.6 million people.

Never mind, when the Italian banking crisis gets past tipping point (I see yet another mid-sized Italian bank was bailed out recently) the Euro will only be good for burning to keep warm or wiping your bum with. As Italian banks are huge holders of Italian government debt and, guess what, the Italian government keeps issuing debt to keep the banking system afloat, that's only going to end one way
Italian government debt was downgraded yet again last month and is just one step above junk rating which many institutions are precluded from owning and as a consequence there would be a fire-sale of IT debt once that happened

@stanton, that total 8ollocks. Todays Forex puts sterling at 1.13 Euros
So based on your own opening post, this coming season should be 10% cheaper for UK ski punters.
So today's sterling "plummet" still leaves a healthy 8.5% less expensive ski holiday.
Cockwomble.

Most Brexit facts and statistics exist only in a bubble, they don't consider how something else impacts their favourite statistic.
The UK's manufacturing industry is a small portion, but it will decline after a hard Brexit.
Airbus, for example, builds wings in the UK which are then shipped to France/Germany to be screwed onto the side of actual aeroplanes. If we leave the EU without a deal, then this becomes more burdonsome, from a regulatory standpoint. Airbus may well choose to move its manufacturing of wings from the UK and into Germany/France/Spain/Romania/wherever. Airbus employs 10,000 people at Filton and Broughton manufacturing all their wings.
Ford, for example, builds engines in the UK, which are then shipped overseas (obviously they don't build cars in the UK anymore). These again could be subjected to customs holdups and delays, import tariffs (when importing the engines into Spain from the UK). Ford may decide that this is no good and so close down the Dagenham factory, or the Transmission factory in Halewood in favour of building the motors in the EU instead to simplify the supply chain into its EU factories. Ford currently employs about 2,500 people at Dagenham and Halewood.
But we aren't going to suddenly stop buying cars. We'll just import them from the EU and pay more for them.
So our manufacturing will decline if we leave the EU badly. Remember, leaving the EU was supposed to create opportunities, but I don't see where they are. In fact, all I'm hearing now is how it wont be quite as bad as a World War and there will be adequate food. Funny how they didn't write that on the side of a bus.

Yougov has some reasonable research on where British people are with the draft withdrawal agreement
https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2018/11/16/7-more-things-weve-learned-about-public-opinion-br
60% would rather leave with this deal than with no deal
56% would rather another in/out referendum than leaving with this deal
50% think leaving with no deal is a bad thing, 25% think it would be a good thing
And when asked to choose between accept the deal and leave, leave with no deal, try and renegotiate, referendum on whether to accept the deal, or cancel Brexit - cancelling Brexit was the leading option.
(If there was another referendum, it shouldn't have another other than two options, either leave/remain or deal/no-deal - once you put three options on the ballot, then chances are the winner will have under 50% of the result, and a lot of gammons will explode over that).

@stanton, I have no idea why you are getting so excited, I transfer £8000 per year into my French account to pay my French bills & even with that drop it comes to 160 Euro's of a difference, BIG DEAL.

@slopemad, you can get round the gammons with 3 options and a 2nd preference. Everyone can then vote what they really prefer and the lowest scoring then gets votes transferred to 2nd prefs. So the true nutters who want to be No deal but if they can't have that they'd rather stay in can express that etc , and sane people who'd rather forget the whole thing can vote for the crap deal as a back up without worrying about their vote exposing them to no deal.

This means that 'second choice' would win. Farage/Rees-Mogg would exploit that via their extreme right wing social media campaigns to the gammons who really don't understand.

Fancy a few facts
In the eurozone overall, during the third quarter, economic growth fell to just 0.2%, the weakest performance in more than four years, with Italy's economy not growing at all.
Germany contracted
UK's growth 0.6%

@PaulC1984, No one around the World knows what the UK produces except Hooligans and Awful Food..
Everyone knows what Germany produces and probably has a high quality product somewhere in their possesion
Fact remains the UL stagnant wages ..rising prices the Pound does not buy what it used to...
Chalet Companys have reduced the size of the complete package..
The Pound will only bounce back (considerably) on cancellation Brexit....
A Hard Departure will see the Pound below Parity for some years
