Seymour M Hersh Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 20 minutes ago, Governor Tarkin said: I got the last dozen bags of postcrete in the Lothians a couple of weeks ago for a job I was doing, half the amount I needed, but that was it. Zip. Had to scavenge half blown bags that mates had lying around. I was hoping the price of timber would drop by the middle of next year, as my ex-council house attic needs a lot of structural upgrading for a conversion. Suppliers are in the profit game, though, so you can understand them ripping the pish a bit, especially when demand is so high. That has nothing to do with Brexit. The price of timber has gone up dramatically in the US was well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Thor Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 43 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: The price has dropped a bit lately, though I still think it’s a fundamentally strong market in the medium term at least, due to the pent up demand. Plus inflationary pressures are rife at the moment, I really expect them to start filtering through the first quarter of next year. I think the strong demand for construction ‘commodities’ for the want of better words, will see prices to be high especially when more economies open up. All of the above is obviously imo but I think if your hoping for tumbling prices, you’ll be disappointed, Copper prices have sent cable through the roof. Steel prices are very high too so armoured cable is a double whammy. Poured concrete is the new one though, firms are being given delivery times in the months.

WorldChampions1902 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 So far, the consequences of Brexit (and COVID) have seen the following pronouncements: Construction Industry Sector - “We don’t have enough construction workers” Road Haulage Association - “We don’t have enough lorry drivers”. Dim Martin (Wetherspoons CEO) - “ We don’t have enough bar staff”. Hotel and Hospitality Sectors - “We don’t have enough staff”. Farming Sector - “We don’t have enough crop pickers”. Food Processing/Manufacturers - “We don’t have enough factory workers” Private Care Sector - “We don’t have enough carers” NHS - “We don’t have enough nurses, Doctors, Specialists, Health Care Assistants, etc….etc”. In full knowledge (and wilful ignorance) of the above, Dido Harding this weekend has stated, “No more foreigners working in the NHS”. The lunatics truly have taken over the asylum. “Sunny Uplands” and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this in iNews yesterday. There has been very little movement amongst Remain/Leave opinion accoriding to this poll. I would have expected more change even just in terms of the demographics. There would be millions more younger voters, proportionally more likely to vote Remain, with the older generation dying off in millions too. That wouldn't matter much if the views just matched up to the new age range but ift feels more unlikely for people to swing from Remain to Leave given the evidence in front of us. https://inews.co.uk/news/brexit/brexit-britain-divided-eu-referendum-five-years-public-split-1062481 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Dan Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Most respondents in France, Germany, Italy and Spain have a message for the UK: We want EU back, we want EU back for good. Five years after Britain voted to leave the European Union, most Europeans say they would welcome them back. But a poll by Euronews by Redfield & Wilton Strategies also found that many Europeans are keenly watching how Britain fares outside the bloc - and would be willing to consider their own nation's exit if it works well for the UK. Wednesday marks five years since Britain held a referendum on its membership of the EU, in which 51.9% voted to leave. The vote shook British and European politics to its core and was followed by years of gruelling negotiations between Brussels and London. Then, on December 24, 2020, at the eleventh hour, a deal was reached that prevented the UK from crashing out of the bloc. But Brexit is far from over. “ Scotland, where the vast majority of people voted to stay in the EU, the referendum has renewed calls for independence, which most Europeans also support, according to the Euronews/Redfield & Wilton poll. Majorities in Spain, Germany and Italy also said they would support an independent Scotland's bid to join the EU. Scotland's pro-independence camp lost the 2014 referendum by a margin of 10 percentage points and recent polling suggest they would once again be defeated with 53% of Scots polled by YouGov in May rejected independence.” https://apple.news/AH_40k4soTxioxPtTjk198g Edited June 23, 2021 by Boy Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
