No he can't.
That's Mick's best shot or he'd have come up with a better story

Today, I heard that someone I know quite well wants to remain!
He's a mathematician, and only a day or so ago I was privvy to a conversation about reconciling bank accounts.
Story:
He showed a credit card statement and couldn't recollect that on two consecutive days a certain establishment had taken the exact same figure from his account.
Dunno about any of you lot, but I reconcile all our accounts, just like my mathematician friend does. I find it therapeutic and every now and again, I find an error. He did too.
He'd had seven pints of Bass one evening, and the next evening had another seven pints of Bass.
If I'd had seven pints of Bass, I wouldn't be drinking for a day or two.
............... and he wants to remain in the EU.
Are all remainers drunk?

Surely effete remainers drink wine, ale is for stalwart John Bull.I knew no harm of Bonaparte and plenty of the Squire,
And for to fight the Frenchman I did not much desire;
But I did bash their baggonets because they came arrayed
To straighten out the crooked road an English drunkard made,
Where you and I went down the lane with ale-mugs in our hands,
The night we went to Glastonbury by way of Goodwin Sands.

My target was brexiters. I guess I missed. Isn't there a cautionary internet saying about that?

Are you trying to tell me that the possibility of subtlety occurred to you, but you discounted it on the basis of your mistaken notion of SGS? It was an excellent school in those days.

In reality though no kids were too thick for there.
Back then three little towns in a row Stamford looked down on Bourne and Bourne looked down on Spalding. I'd guess Spalding looked down on Wisbech.
I'm actually just about to go to Spalding.
