I was discussing the excellence of British tertiary education and decrying the damage that has already been done by Leaving the EU. And there's more of that to come.
Not how to guess the titles of institutions that might or might not exist.

You stated most people here couldn't name any universities in France or Germany other than the Sorbonne. I was pointing out that it's very likely they can.
The fact that there is proof on Google that the Earth is flat,that the Holocaust didn't happen and that Covid 19 is some sort of multi-government control experiment makes your argument less than weak.

The (mainly French) manufacturers of pint glasses can now put a crown on them according to Mr Johnson, thus reminding us of our subservience to an unelected head of state. I'm sure there are many other benefits of similar merit.PedallingSquares wrote: ↑23 Mar 2022, 9:50amThe fact that there is proof on Google that the Earth is flat,that the Holocaust didn't happen and that Covid 19 is some sort of multi-government control experiment makes your argument less than weak.

...
The Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) checks coming into force on 1 July will see inspections on imported agri-food and plant products, adding an estimated £1bn to the costs of trade.
...
“The full SPS controls on our meat and dairy goods – those are the nightmare in moving goods across the trade border for food because they require veterinary certification … they require potential inspection at arrival at port of entry,” he [Shane Brennan, chief executive of the Cold Chain Federation] said.
Mr Brennan said the Brexit red tape already imposed on small businesses trying to export has already led to a “dramatic decline in the amount of goods actually trying to leave the country.”

There was nothing to stop us putting crowns on beer glasses before Brexit. It was just pointless, as it is now.pete75 wrote: ↑23 Mar 2022, 10:59amThe (mainly French) manufacturers of pint glasses can now put a crown on them according to Mr Johnson, thus reminding us of our subservience to an unelected head of state.

I'd never realised anything had actually happened. It was always going to be a disaster after the words "Rees-Mogg" were linked to it.Jdsk wrote: ↑11 Oct 2022, 7:57am National Audit Office to investigate:

I knew about the disused oil rig towed through the sensitive Severn estuary environment to be displayed in a disused Victorian seafront swimming pool near my former home. I disliked the idea, but to me it sort of suits Brexit: backwards-looking, short term, environmentally damaging and with no obvious exit plan: unless they're towing it back out into the estuary or building a temporary rail freight terminal, I suspect the rig will have to be chopped up there and hauled away piecemeal through the narrow Victorian streets at night by scores of polluting diesel lorries, or go the long way round past the hospital and the foot of the Mendips.Psamathe wrote: ↑11 Oct 2022, 10:57amI'd never realised anything had actually happened.

I saw a report of that on TV but didn't appreciate it was part of any "Festival of Brexit". My understanding (from TV) was it was some sort of art thing (using Gov. money) that very few people had visited.mjr wrote: ↑11 Oct 2022, 12:07pmI knew about the disused oil rig towed through the sensitive Severn estuary environment to be displayed in a disused Victorian seafront swimming pool near my former home.
